Crispy Air-Fried Pretzel Bites
Crispy Air-Fried Pretzel Bites deliver a tender, chewy interior with a golden, lightly blistered crust and a satisfying hit of coarse salt. The quick two-ingredient dough takes on classic pretzel depth after a brief baking-soda bath, making each bite richly flavored without being heavy. Serve warm for game day snacks, party platters, or an easy weeknight treat.
