Crispy Bagel Chips: An Easy Air Fryer Snack
How to Make Bagel Chips with Your Air Fryer for a Delicious Snack
We have two serious fans of anything crispy in our house! For my kids, who prefer their bread toasted and crunchy rather than just with sandwiches or jam, I decided to transform bagels into delightful, crispy chips. These bagel chips offer a wonderfully crunchy exterior with a satisfyingly chewy center, making them a hit with both children and adults. Made with simple ingredients and easy to follow, they are the perfect homemade snack for when hunger strikes, during movie nights, or alongside a cup of coffee.
Ingredients- 1 Bagel
- 1 piece Butter (approx. 20g)
- 1 tsp Minced Garlic
- 1 tsp Sugar
- Pinch of Dried Parsley Flakes (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your bagel. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the bagel into thin pieces, about 0.5 cm thick. Slicing them thinly is key to achieving maximum crispiness.
Step 2
In a small microwave-safe bowl, place 1 piece of butter (about 20g). Microwave for about 30 seconds until the butter is completely melted. Be careful not to overheat or burn the butter.
Step 3
To the melted butter, add 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, and a pinch of dried parsley flakes. Stir everything together well to create your flavorful coating sauce. The minced garlic adds a wonderful depth of flavor.
Step 4
Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper. Arrange the thinly sliced bagel pieces in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap. Using a brush, generously coat the top of each bagel slice with the prepared butter and garlic sauce. Ensure an even coating for the best flavor.
Step 5
Preheat your air fryer to 185°C (365°F). Place the coated bagel chips in the preheated air fryer and cook for approximately 4 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your bagel slices and your specific air fryer model. Cook until golden brown and crispy. They are best enjoyed immediately while still warm!
