For a sweeter variation, brush the cooked pretzel bites with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Experiment with different seasonings such as ranch seasoning, garlic powder, or everything bagel seasoning for a unique flavor twist. Ensure the air fryer basket is not overcrowded to allow for even cooking and optimal browning.
