Place your frozen bagel in the cold cooking basket of the air fryer
1 Bagel, any flavor
Air fry at 360°F for 3-5 minutes
Remove the bagel, then slice and toast or top as normal
Notes
Any flavor of bagel or mini bagel works just fine with this method
For mini bagels, reduce temperature to 350 and start at 2 minutes
It takes me about 3 minutes to defrost a whole bagel in a Ninja Foodi Dual Zone, but the time may vary slightly with other brands and sizes of air fryer
Once the bagel is defrosted, you may cut and toast as normal, or store for later use
Bagel will seem warm when you remove it from air fryer, but will quickly cool down to a normal defrosted state
Nutrition values will vary based on specific brand and flavor of bagel, and any toppings added, so please consider this a rough guideline
