You can choose any of your favorite brands of frozen bagel bites from the freezer section of your grocery store. There are many great options including mini pepperoni bagel bites and mini cheese bagel bites.
You can also air fry bagel bites from scratch. We will share both frozen bagel bites in the air fryer and homemade air fryer bagel bites in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
Tips:
- This recipe was made using a Cosori air fryer, my favorite brand. If you're using a different air fryer, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly as all air fryers cook a little differently.
- Prepare the air fryer basket before placing foods into the basket so they don't stick.
- NEVER place parchment paper or foil into the air fryer while preheating. The hot air circulation will pull the paper or foil to the heating element. Always place parchment paper or foil in the air fryer after you have preheated and are about to add the food.
- Double check your user manual to make sure you can use foil in your air fryer. Not all air fryers will allow you to use aluminum foil.
Easy Bagel Bites Air Fryer Recipe
Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray if needed.
Place the frozen bagel pizza bites in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket.
Air fry bagel bites at 360 degrees F for 4-6 minutes. Start checking the bagel bites around the 4th minute since all air fryers cook differently.
Carefully remove the air fryer pizza bagels with a pair of tongs and serve.

NOTE: This recipe was made with a Cosori air fryer. Air fryer brands and cooking times can differ. Always check your recipe while cooking if it's the first time you've made it in your air fryer. You may need to adjust the cooking time.
