Ingredients

  • 1 package of SuperPretzel SoftStix (frozen)

  • Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)

  • Coarse salt (included in the package or use your own)

  • 1 tsp butter or olive oil (optional, for extra golden crispiness)

Optional Dipping Sauces:

  • Warm cheese dip

  • Classic yellow mustard or honey mustard

  • Creamy ranch dressing

  • Garlic butter for an extra rich taste



Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating helps ensure the SoftStix cook evenly and get perfectly golden.


Step 2: Prepare the SoftStix

  1. Remove the frozen SoftStix from the packaging and place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow for even cooking.

  2. Lightly spray with cooking spray or brush with melted butter for an extra golden-brown finish.

  3. Sprinkle with coarse salt before air frying for authentic pretzel flavor.


Step 3: Air Fry the SoftStix

  • Cook at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crisping.

  • The SoftStix should be golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside, while remaining soft and melty inside.


Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

  • Carefully remove the SoftStix from the air fryer and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.

  • Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces like cheese dip, mustard, or garlic butter.



How to Serve These SoftStix

  • Classic Pretzel Experience: Serve with warm cheese dip or mustard.

  • Sweet Twist: Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar for a dessert-style treat.

  • Savory Upgrade: Drizzle with garlic butter and Parmesan cheese for a bolder flavor.


Pro Tips for Best Results

  • Flip the SoftStix halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.

  • For extra golden color, brush with melted butter before serving.

  • Don’t overcook! Check at the 5-minute mark to avoid drying out the SoftStix.

  • For an even softer texture, place a small cup of water in the air fryer to add moisture while cooking.
