Easy Snack Recipe: Delicious Bagel Chips Made at Home
An incredibly simple snack recipe using leftover bagels! Introducing a delicious bagel chip recipe that’s crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Perfect as a snack for kids or a treat with your favorite beverage!
Ingredients
- 1 Bagel
- 20g Unsalted Butter
- 0.3 tsp Salt
- 1 Tbsp Sugar (or 1 Tbsp Honey)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gather and prepare all the ingredients listed for the recipe. Place the 20g of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it by microwaving for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until fully liquid.
Step 2
Cut the bagel into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 cm thick. Arrange the cut bagel pieces in a single layer in your air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap. This is crucial for achieving an even crispiness on all sides.
Step 3
In the melted butter, add 1 tablespoon of sugar. You can also substitute honey for sugar to create wonderfully sweet bagel chips. The sweetness makes them a hit with children!
Step 4
Add approximately 0.3 teaspoons of salt to the mixture and stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. The salt helps to balance the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor profile.
Step 5
Now, evenly brush the prepared butter-sugar-salt mixture onto the cut bagel pieces. Using a pastry brush will help you spread it more uniformly. Make sure to coat both the top and bottom surfaces of each piece.
Step 6
Double-check that the bagel pieces are not overlapping in the air fryer basket. Overlapping can lead to uneven cooking and a less crispy texture.
Step 7
Preheat your air fryer, then cook at 180°C (350°F) for 7 minutes. After 7 minutes, carefully flip the bagel chips and cook for an additional 1 minute. This process will result in delicious bagel chips that are crispy on the outside and pleasantly chewy on the inside! It’s a good idea to check the crispiness after the initial 7 minutes and adjust the time if needed.
