Frozen bagel bites are a childhood staple snack or meal, but they are pricey and have lots of additives so making them at home is much healthier and cheaper! With only a handful of ingredients, you can make these Air Fryer Bagel Bites in no time, and customize them with whatever toppings you want!

I love using my air fryer, and have already shared tons of delicious recipes with you such as Air Fryer English Muffin Pizzas, Air Fryer Chicken Taquitos, Air Fryer Hamburgers, and Air Fryer Potato Skins.

Making these Air Fryer  bagel bites from start to finish takes 10-15 minutes which is a pretty quick turnaround for an easy meal or snack! It's really easy to put them together and only a handful of ingredients. My kids are pretty picky eaters (shocking, I know), so I made these pretty basic, but you can add more seasoning or different toppings for a more mature palette.

How to Freeze bagel bites:

  • Let the bagel bites cool completely. Add them in a single layer to a freezer safe ziplock bag. Press out extra air from the bag, then seal. Place flat in freezer to freeze.
  • Will keep up to 6 months in the freezer.
  • To cook from frozen: Add bagel bites to air fryer. Set air fryer to 400 degrees, and 6 minutes. Add additional minute if not cooked through.

  • Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer Oven, 6 Quart: 6-in-1, Broil, Roast, Dehydrate, Bake, Non-stick and Dishwasher-Safe Basket, Stainless Steel
  • COSORI Air Fryer 5.8QT - Large Hot Electric Oven Oilless Cooker with 8 Quick Setting Recommendation
