Toast bagels in air fryer
One of the most creative uses for your Air Fryer that you've never considered is toast or heat bagels. Toasting bagels in an air fryer is as easy as it can get. You can toast multiple bagels at a time unlike the toaster and do not have to wait for it to preheat like oven. Air fryer bagels are quick, easy, and perfectly crispy with soft interiors.
Equipment
- air fryer
- Pastry brush.
Ingredients
- 2 bagels
- A bowl of warm water
- Bagel Toppings of your choice
Instructions
- Start by slicing the bagels and brush them with warm water using a pastry brush.
- Then put them in the air fryer, with the cut side facing up.
- Set the air fryer temperature to 370 0F and let the bagels toast for 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden.
- Take them out of the air fryer basket and put a schmear of cream cheese or serve as your heart desires.
- Be it the plain bagels or the cinnamon raisin bagels, blueberry bagels, or onion bagels, all will take almost equal time to toast.
Notes
- The mini bagels will air-fry much faster than the large and thick bagels.
- Do not place the bagels very closely. They need space for air circulation. The simple rule is not to overcrowd the bagels in an air fryer.
- If you are using an oven-style air fryer, use only one shelf at a time.
- There is no need to flip the bagels in air fryers.
- To toast frozen bagels in an air fryer, do not thaw them at all. Simply run them quickly under running water and then place them as a whole in the air fryer.
- If you are heating the whole bagels and are unsure if the bagels are heated through, look for a brown color on the rims of the bagels. Alternately you can use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should be more than 205 degrees F.
- Every air fryer is different. So, test to find the perfect time for your air fryer.
