Recipe to Toast a Bagel in the Air Fryer:
Here is how you can easily and quickly toast your bagels in the air fryer in three simple steps:
1) Cut the bagel evenly into two halves.
2) Put these halves of bagel in the air fryer basket (should put the cut side up)
3) Put the air fryer to heat at 370 degrees F for 3 minutes.
Note: If you want the bagels to be extra toasted, you can always cook them for another minute or two. Lightly toasted bagels in 2 minutes, medium toasted bagels in 3 minutes, and extra toasted in bagels in just 4 minutes.
Additional Tips:
- Keep an eye on your bagels, mainly if this is the first time you are using your air fryer to toast them.
- There is no need to preheat the air fryer.
- There needs to be no difference in timing for mini or regular bagels.
- You may also love to put your bagel back into the basket to let the butter melt directly on the bagel.
Can You Toast a Frozen Bagel in the Air fryer?
Absolutely! Yes. You have to cut the frozen bagel into halves and then put it in the air fryer basket (frozen).
Put the air fryer temperature setting to 360 degrees F for 4-5 minutes.
Your frozen bagels are scrumptiously toasted just like that!
What Toppings Should Be Used For Toasted Bagels?
Although you can have your bagel straight from the air fryer basket, believe me when I say nothing beats a breakfast of toasted bagels with a delicious topping. Some of my personal favorites are here:
