How To Make Bagel Chips In The Air Fryer
Air frying makes these bagel chips crispy, but you have to be careful! If you fry the bagels too long they’ll get too crunchy or even burn. (I personally like this crispiness of air fried bagel chips vs bagel chips in oven.)
We make ours as little bagel chips, but you can slice them into bigger bagels if you want. (You’ll want to keep them small, though, if you’re using them for a bagel chips party mix.)
You can also make them as a bagel chips garlic butter recipe, but we like a simple olive oil if we’re using an everything bagel seasoning. (Everything bagel chips and dip are so good!)
If you’re looking for a bagel chips healthy recipe, leave off the butter or olive oil. They’re still good, especially if you use a seasoned bagel (like everything bagels, cinnamon raisin bagels, pumpernickel bagels, etc.), which will still be flavorful even if you leave your bagel chips plain.
This is a fun recipe for kids to make because you can play around with a bagel chip recipe. Try making different bagel herb chips or even crispy cinnamon sugar bagel chips.
RECIPE TIP: If you’re using a strong dip or a salty dip, make unsalted bagel chips so you don’t get overwhelmed.
