Stop Wasting Your Stale GF Bagels – Make These Instead!

Stop Wasting Your Stale GF Bagels – Make These Instead!

Hi Bakers, Don’t be like me and forget your gluten-free bagels in the fridge...
But IF you do? Congrats—you’re halfway to these crispy, golden, air fryer bagel chips! Gluten-free bread goes stale fast, and it’s way too expensive to toss. So instead of trashing it, I turned my sad bagels into the perfect crunchy snack—ready in minutes and amazing with dip (or on their own!). Not rocket science, just delicious. Enjoy! ~Carolyn

Air Fryer Bagel Chips (Gluten-Free)

Ingredients:

  • 1 Canyon Bakehouse Everything Bagel (or any GF bagel)
  • 1 tbsp melted butter or vegan butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Slice the bagel thinly and evenly.
  2. Mix melted butter and olive oil. Brush both sides of each slice.
  3. Sprinkle with salt.
  4. Air fry at 350°F for 3 minutes per side, or until golden and crisp.
    • ⚠️ Watch closely—these brown fast!
  5. Cool on a rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 1–2 days.

No Air Fryer?
Bake at 350°F on a cookie sheet for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fully crisp.
