Serving Suggestions

Storage and Reheating Tips
One of the best aspects of these gluten-free pretzel nuggets is how well they can be stored for later enjoyment. After baking, allow them to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for a day or stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them and reheating as needed.
To reheat your pretzel nuggets and restore their soft, chewy texture, simply pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes. This will help to get them warm and slightly crispy on the outside. Just be mindful not to overheat them, as you want to maintain that fresh-baked feel whenever possible.
