I had a month of free bagels from a chain bagel shop and honestly, there are only so many times when you can eat a bagel for breakfast. So I had to think of what else we could do with bagels. And thus, this Air Fryer Bagel Chips recipe was born.
These are honestly so incredibly simple to make. And they come together in only a handful of minutes, so if you’re craving a snack and don’t have anything in the cabinet, you can make these quickly.
And these are a great way to use up any bagels that you have that might be getting a little old. If you buy a dozen bagels, and some are nearing their end of their freshness, this is a good way to use them and extend their life.
Air Fryer Bagel Chips Ingredients:
- 1 bagel
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon everything but the bagel seasoning
How To Make Air Fryer Bagel Chips:
Cut the bagel into thin strips that are about 1/8 of an inch thick.
A serrated knife works great for this because it cuts through the bagel with teeth rather than a flat knife. A flat knife pushes through things as it cuts, and that deflates and/or squishes then. You don’t want that to happen with your bagel or you’ll end up with tiny pieces that won’t really be a great vessel for your dips.
Leave the first two to three pieces from each size as is. Cut the middle pieces in half.
Using a pastry brush, brush one side of the bagel pieces with olive oil. Sprinkle with the seasoning.
Flip the bagel pieces over. Brush the other side with olive oil. Sprinkle each piece with the rest of the seasoning.
Alternatively, if you have olive oil spray, you ocean use that to spray both sides of the bagel pieces instead of brushing the oil on the pieces.
Pre-heat the air fryer to 350 F.
Arrange the bagel pieces in a single layer in the air fryer. Don’t overcrowd the bagel chips and don’t overlap them.
Air fry the bagel pieces for three minutes. Flip them and air fry for an additional two minutes.
Remove the bagel chips from the air fryer and let them cool before eating.
Additional batches may require a little less time, so air fry them for two minutes on one side and two minutes on the opposite side.

Homemade bagels or store-bought bagels work perfectly in this recipe. I haven’t tried using frozen bagels to make bagel chips, so I can’t tell you how those would work.
As far as flavor of bagel, anything from plain to everything will work. Plus whatever is in between.
You will end up seasoning the bagel anyway, so you can just vary your seasoning based on the variety of bagel you begin with.
