Craving a warm, toasty bagel but short on time? Ditch the toaster and say hello to the magic of air fryer bagels! This simple recipe delivers bakery-quality bagels with a perfectly crisp exterior and a chewy interior, all in under 10 minutes.
Here's the secret: the air fryer circulates hot air, creating an even browning and that irresistible crunch. Simply slice your favorite bagel (plain, everything, sesame - the choice is yours!), and lightly brush with a touch of oil or butter. Place in your air fryer basket, ensuring they're not overcrowded. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Top with your favorite spreads – cream cheese, avocado, peanut butter, or even a fried egg for a satisfying breakfast or lunch. Air fryer bagels are a game-changer for busy mornings or quick snacks. Enjoy!
