- 2 bagels (your choice of flavor)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.
- While the air fryer is preheating, carefully slice the bagels in half horizontally.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley (if using), and a pinch of salt and black pepper to create a garlic Parmesan spread.
- Spread the garlic Parmesan mixture evenly on the cut sides of each bagel half.
- Place the prepared bagels, cut side up, in the air fryer basket.
