  1. 01Slice the bagels into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. A serrated knife works best.
  2. 02Spray both sides lightly with oil.
  3. 03Season.
  4. 04Ready for the air fryer.
Stale bagels are ideal because they're already partially dried out and crisp faster. Fresh bagels have too much moisture and take twice as long. If your bagels are fresh, slice them and leave the slices out on the counter for a few hours first, or pop them in the air fryer for 2 minutes at 250°F to dry them out before doing the real cook.
