Air Fryer Seasoned Pretzel Recipe
Where are all my snackers at? I will be honest, my hand is raised. Even if you aren’t a snacker, these seasoned pretzels will turn you into a ranch pretzel lover!
We created this recipe out of a necessity to get some more flavor added into our everyday pretzels. We wanted to eat seasoned pretzels, but wasn’t sure exactly how we’d do it.
So of course we turned to our air fryer to see if we could come up with ranch seasoned pretzels. After all, we had just successfully made air fryer chex mix, so we knew we could do it!
These pretzels are honestly great, but they keep well in an air tight container in your pantry for every day snacking. These seasoned pretzels are also a huge hit at holiday parties!
RANCH PRETZELS INGREDIENTS
Oil (any neutral tasting oil) - light olive oil, avocado oil, or canola oil will work here.
Dried Dill weed - One of my favorite dried herbs, especially for salty recipes.
Garlic Powder- Extra garlic, yes please!
Ranch Dressing packet - This packet has everything in it to make the perfect ranch flavor.
Pretzels (gluten free or regular) - Use your favorite type and shape of pretzel. I like these small stick shapes.

CAN I USE ALUMINUM FOIL IN AN AIR FRYER?
Yes you can use aluminum foil in the air fryer. It is great when you are cooking messy or juicy items.
The air fryer does it best work when the air can circulate throughout the machine. If you are using foil make sure that it is small enough piece that it allows air flow along the sides.
HOW LONG DO AIR FRYER PRETZELS KEEP?
These seasoned pretzels will keep up to 2 weeks in a sealed air tight container.
