Prepare a boiling pot of water

Now make your dough by combining flour, salt, and baking powder together. Then add in your greek yogurt and mix with a spoon as best you can

Your dough will look crumbly. Use your hands to knead your dough together into a ball

Place your dough on a cutting board dusted with flour

Slice into 6 sections, then take each section, roll into a snake, then slice into 4 nuggets

Once water is boiling add your 1 tbsp baking soda

Add half your pretzel nuggets to the baking soda bath for about 15-20 seconds. You'll see the nuggets float to the top as well in that 20 seconds

Use a slotted spoon to remove the nuggets from the water, and place in the air fryer. Optionally, use a silicone brush to brush the tops with melted butter, then sprinkle with thick salt, and cook at 370 for 8-9 minutes, until tops are golden

While cooking, blend cottage cheese, water, and taco seasoning together

Bring to medium heat on the stove, then add in shredded cheese and canned diced peppers if using

Once cheese has melted remove from heat, as you don't want the cottage cheese to curdle

Serve your pretzel nuggets straight out of the air fryer with queso and enjoy!
