Air Fryer Healthy Soft Pretzel Bites
Soft, chewy pretzel bites made healthier with Greek yogurt and air fried to perfection – the ultimate game day snack!
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Air Fryer
- Large pot
- Parchment paper liner
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- ¾ cup to 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 6 cups water
- 1/3 cup baking soda
- Coarse sea salt/pretzel salt
- Optional: honey mustard, cheese sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce
Instructions
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and sift together or mix well.
- Add Greek yogurt and mix until you have a solid dough ball, being sure to scrape the sides as you go.
- Flour a clean work surface and cut your dough ball into 4 equal parts.
- Using floured hands, roll each part into a thick rope that's approximately 6 inches long. Cut each rope into 7-8 pieces with a sharp knife or bench scraper.
- Mix baking soda into water, stir until dissolved, and bring to a rolling boil. Boil the pretzel bites for about 15 seconds, then place on a prepared air fryer pan (I use a parchment paper liner), and immediately sprinkle with pretzel salt.
- Air fry at 400°F for 12 minutes, until dark golden brown. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce (I like these with honey mustard) and enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days
- Reheat in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to restore texture
- The baking soda bath is essential for authentic pretzel flavor – don't skip it!
- You may need anywhere from ¾ to 1 cup of Greek yogurt depending on the consistency of your yogurt
