one thing that air fryers are quietly great at is soft pretzels. we pick up one of those containers of pretzel bites from krogers' bakery and put them in the freezer, and then at any point can breezily make a plate of fresh, hot soft pretzel bites. just had a lunch of that, some slices of cheddar, and some cherries and... what a meal! in truth a fresh hot pretzel bite fulfills the craving for pastry, while easily portioned and requiring nearly no prep or mess
