Air Fryer Bagel Bites
Air Fryer Bagel Bites might be the easiest snack there is to make. It’s perfect for after school snacks or whenever you just have the munchies.
Why You’ll Love It
- Easy: A box or bag of frozen bagel bites is all you need for this tasty air fryer snack. I can guarantee you there’s no easier or better way to heat bagel bites than in the air fryer.
- Crispy texture: We’ve been using the microwave for years to make bagel bites, but you know what – they sometimes turn out a little squishy. In the air fryer, they’re crisp and bubbly, just the way they were meant to be.
Helpful Tips
- Add some shredded mozzarella to the tops of the bagel bites after they are done cooking and leave them in the basket for a minute so the cheese can melt.
- If your making homemade bagel bites wait to add the cheese until they are done cooking and then leave them in the basket to help the cheese melt. Cheese can fly around inside the air fryer while its running.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. These cook best when they are in a single layer and there is room for the air to circulate.
- Check the bagel bites half way through cooking to make sure they aren’t burning.
- The sauce and cheese will be hot. Let them cool for a minute before you eat them so you don’t burn your mouth.
- If making homemade bagel bites use your favorite pizza toppings.

My kids love the frozen version so we thought we would make the homemade ones and test them. My kids are hooked!
I love these homemade bagel bites. I make them with different toppings every time. Yum!
The timing was a bit off for my air fryer. Had to add another minute or two.
I hope they came out well for you in the end. Every air fryer cooks slightly different. You might have to adjust the cooking time on some recipes.
Frozen bagel bites are the easiest snack on the planet. Takes me back to junior high.
Yum! Thanks for sharing.
