Craving that perfect toasted bagel but short on time? Wondering, 'can you toast a bagel in an air fryer?' Absolutely! In fact, air frying bagels is a game-changer. It's faster, often crispier, and surprisingly simple.
Here's the quick and easy method:
1. **Prep Your Bagel:** Slice your bagel in half horizontally.
2. **Air Fryer Ready:** Place the bagel halves, cut-side up, in your air fryer basket. Avoid overlapping.
3. **Toast to Perfection:** Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes. Keep a close eye on them, as air fryers vary.
4. **Golden Brown Goodness:** Check for your desired level of toastiness. You want a golden-brown top and a slightly crisp texture.
5. **Top & Enjoy:** Slather on your favorite cream cheese, avocado, or whatever your heart desires, and enjoy!
Air frying delivers a uniformly toasted bagel that’s both crunchy and chewy. Plus, clean-up is a breeze! So ditch the toaster and embrace the air fryer for your next bagel breakfast (or anytime snack)!
