Craving a perfectly toasted bagel but short on time? Ditch the toaster and embrace the air fryer! Toasting a bagel in the air fryer is quicker, easier, and delivers a deliciously crispy exterior with a soft, chewy inside.
Here's your foolproof guide:
1. **Prep:** Slice your bagel in half.
2. **Air Fry:** Place bagel halves, cut-side up, in the air fryer basket.
3. **Toast:** Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes, depending on your desired level of toastiness. Keep a close eye to prevent burning!
4. **Enjoy:** Remove carefully and spread with your favorite toppings – cream cheese, avocado, or even a fried egg!
**Pro Tip:** For extra flavor, lightly brush the cut side with melted butter or garlic oil before air frying. Experiment with different timings to find your perfect bagel toast! Enjoy!
