Preheat your air fryer to 370°F following manufacturer guidelines
Slice a fresh or thawed bagel in half using a bread knife or similar serrated knife
1 Bagel (any flavor)
Place both sides of the bagel face up in the preheated air fryer basket, leaving air space between halves
Air fry at 370°F for 2-4 minutes
Serve with your favorite bagel toppings
Notes
If your air fryer doesn’t have a setting for 370 F, use 375 F instead
Any flavor of bagel or mini bagel works just fine with this method
2 minutes gives you a light toast, and 4 is a darker toast
For mini bagels, reduce temperature to 350 and start at 2 minutes
If desired, you may add butter or cream cheese before cooking to heat the topping
Raise the temperature to 400 degrees if you’re adding cream cheese and want it browned as well as the bagel
Once the bagel is toasted, add your favorite toppings as desired. My suggestions are: butter (pictured), cream cheese, peanut (or any nut) butter, Nutella, cookie butter, maple cream, or cinnamon spread (pictured)
Nutrition values will vary based on specific brand and flavor of bagel, and any toppings added, so please consider this a rough guideline
