Bagel – You’ll want an unsliced bagel – these can often be found in the bakery section of a grocery store or picked up from, your favorite bagel shop. Use any variety bagel you like – Everything Bagels are always tasty, but we usually use plain.
Seasonings – You will need melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. If you’re using a flavored bagel, you may want to adjust the seasonings accordingly.
How to Make Bagel Chips in an Air Fryer:
- Slice your bagels– Cut your bagel in half from the top down. This should give you two half moon or “C-shaped” pieces of bagel. From here, slice the ends into pieces as thin as you can, around 1/8″ slices. If it is a little thicker it is fine, but do try and make it thin.
Using a serrated bread knife will work best for cutting the bagels without squishing them.
- Season your bagel chips– Add your bagel slices to a bowl. Add in your melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to a separate small bowl and stir all this to combine. Then pour your butter mix over the bagel slices and stir to coat.
- Air fry the bagel chips- Air fry your seasoned chips at 300 degrees F for 8 minutes. Halfway through cooking, shake the basket for even cooking.

Recipe Tips!
You can use any variety of bagel you like and adjust seasonings accordingly. Everything Bagels are always a hit, as are Asiago bagels.
For sweet bagels, be sure to skip the savory seasonings and serve them with a sweet cream cheese. Blueberry bagel chips are fun with strawberry cream cheese!
While these are great with any type of dip (ranch dip, queso, beer cheese dip, etc.), we usually keep it simple with a store bought veggie cream cheese or other variety of flavored cream cheese.
