Craving a perfectly toasted bagel but your toaster's on the fritz? Wondering, 'Can you toast a bagel in an air fryer?' The answer is a resounding YES! And it might just be the *best* way to achieve bagel perfection.
Air frying bagels results in a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior – a texture many struggle to achieve with a traditional toaster. Plus, it's quick and easy.
Here's the simple process: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Slice your bagel and place it in the air fryer basket. Toast for 3-5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy to your liking. Keep a close eye on it, as air fryers can vary.
For an extra touch, add your favorite toppings *after* toasting. Cream cheese, avocado, or even a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning will take your air-fried bagel to the next level. Say goodbye to uneven toasting and hello to bagel bliss!
