Air Fryer Toasted Bagel
Description
You can quickly and easily make a Toasted Bagel right in your air fryer. It makes the edges crispy and golden brown while the centers are still soft and delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 fresh bagel
- toppings, of your choice
Instructions
- Set your air fryer to 360 degrees F (182°C) for 1-2 minutes. Some models require preheating, while others don't. If yours does, let it warm up for a few minutes.
- Slice the whole bagel in half with a serrated knife. If you prefer a little extra crunch or flavor, lightly brush the cut sides with butter or olive oil, but this step is optional.
- Arrange the bagel halves in the preheated air fryer basket, or air fryer oven cut-side up. Ensure they’re not overlapping or touching too closely to allow for even toasting.
- Cook the bagels at 360°F (182°C) for about 5-6 minutes. They might need an additional minute if you didn't preheat the air fryer.
- After 4 to 5 minutes, check the bagels. If you like them more toasted, you can add another minute. Be careful not to overdo it; they can quickly go from perfectly toasted to burnt.
- Once they're toasted to your satisfaction, carefully remove the bagels from the air fryer. They will be hot, so it's advisable to use tongs or a spatula.
- Now's the fun part – add your favorite toppings. Whether it’s classic cream cheese, a savory spread, or something sweet, the choice is yours!
