Air Fryer Everything Bagel Chips with Scallion Cream Cheese
If there is one thing we can call agree on, it’s that bread is everything lol.
Lately I’ve been exploring more ways to love our air fryer. One concept I had to try, was these air fryer bagel chips! If you lived thru the late 90’s, aka the boom of the bagel chips before Stacy’s Pita Chips came about, then you know how good these are!
Bagel chips were such a selling product that they came in countless varieties and you’d fine them at just about every store. Today I don’t even know if they still exist today. That being said, this homemade recipe is such a good one to keep in your back pocket!
This concept is perhaps more seamless with non sliced bakery bagels, but if you can’t get your hands on some.. don’t stress! You can easily make them from everyday pre sliced options! Can you make these in the oven? I imagine so, but it’s less efficient, perhaps doesn’t bake the slices all the same and is just much better in an air fryer.
What do I love about this concept? Everything! It’s quick, easy, affordable, packs tons of flavor, you can switch up the varieties of the bagels, the dip, I find it’s more filling since there are more slices versus eating a bagel the traditional way, it’s great for entertaining, perfect year round, can be enjoyed as a snack or breakfast perhaps, and it’s just so fun!
If you love all things bagels, you have to give these Air Fried vegan Everything Bagel Chips with scallion cream cheese a go!
Why this recipe is great:

Fun

You can switch up the bagel flavor and dip!
