How do you toast a bagel in an air fryer?

I recommend slicing the bagel in half, placing cut-side up in the air fryer basket, and cooking at 380°F for 3–4 minutes until golden brown. This method works beautifully with our 2-Ingredient Protein Bagels or even more indulgent options like Chocolate Chip Bagels .

Can I do toast in an air fryer?

Absolutely! Air fryers work wonderfully for toasting bagels, bread, and other baked goods because the circulating hot air creates even browning. I use this same method with our Mini Bagels or when reheating Vegan Lox Bagels for a quick, satisfying breakfast.

What temperature do you toast bagels?

I always use 380°F for bagels in the air fryer – this temperature gives you that perfect golden color without burning the edges. Whether you're crisping up Cinnamon Raisin Bagels or refreshing Gluten-Free Blueberry Bagels , 380°F delivers consistently great results.

How long do bagels need in the air fryer?

Most bagels need 3-4 minutes at 380°F, though I recommend checking at 3 minutes and adding time if you prefer them extra crispy.
