How to Make Everything Bagel Seasoning Air Fryer Avocado
Okay, let’s turn that beautiful avocado into crispy, seasoned perfection! The air fryer does most of the work here, but these little tricks make all the difference between good and “oh-my-gosh-I-need-to-make-this-again-tomorrow” good.
Step 1: Prep the Avocado
First things first – grab an avocado that’s ripe but still firm. You know, the kind that holds its shape when you slice it but isn’t rock-hard. Cut it in half, remove the pit (my trick: whack it gently with a knife and twist), then slice each half into 4-6 even wedges depending on size.
Now, here’s my secret weapon: toss those slices gently in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, and pepper first. This creates a sticky base so the everything bagel seasoning clings perfectly. Then sprinkle that glorious seasoning all over – don’t be shy! I use my hands to gently press it onto each slice so you get maximum crunch in every bite.
Step 2: Air Fry to Crispy Perfection
Preheat that air fryer to 375°F (190°C) – yes, preheating matters! It gives us that instant crisp we’re after. While it heats, arrange your avocado slices in a single layer with a little breathing room between them. Crowd the basket and they’ll steam instead of crisp up – learned that the hard way!
Slide the basket in and let the magic happen for 5-7 minutes. At the 5-minute mark, peek in to check progress. You want golden edges and that seasoning to look toasted but not burnt. The exact time depends on your air fryer and how thick your slices are – mine usually hits perfection right at 6 minutes.
Pro tip: The slices will be delicate when hot, so use tongs to transfer them carefully. They crisp up even more as they cool slightly (but let’s be real – I usually burn my fingers eating one straight from the basket).
Tips for the Best Everything Bagel Seasoning Air Fryer Avocado
Want to avoid the mistakes I made the first few times? Here are my hard-earned tricks for perfect avocado every single time:
- Avocado Goldilocks – Not too soft (it’ll mush), not too hard (no flavor). Look for slight give when gently squeezed.
- Watch like a hawk – Air fryers vary wildly. Check at 5 minutes to prevent burnt seasoning disasters.
- Seasoning freedom – Add extra everything bagel seasoning halfway if you’re a crunch fiend (I always do).
- Single layer is key – Overcrowding = soggy sadness. Cook in batches if needed.
Follow these and you’ll get that perfect crisp-creamy balance every time. Promise!

Serving Suggestions for Everything Bagel Seasoning Air Fryer Avocado
These crispy avocado slices are ridiculously versatile! My favorite way? Piled high on sourdough toast with a schmear of cream cheese – instant gourmet breakfast. They’re also killer dipped in ranch or sriracha mayo, tossed into salads for crunch, or served alongside eggs for the ultimate brunch spread. Basically, anywhere you’d use avocado, this better version works!
Storing and Reheating
Okay, real talk – these everything bagel avocado slices are absolute perfection fresh out of the air fryer. But if you somehow end up with leftovers (impressive restraint!), here’s how to handle them. Tuck them into an airtight container in the fridge – they’ll keep for about a day before getting too sad. When you’re ready for round two, skip the microwave (soggy city!) and pop them back in the air fryer at 350°F for just 2-3 minutes to bring back that magical crispiness. Pro tip: sprinkle on a little fresh seasoning after reheating for extra crunch!

Everything Bagel Seasoning Air Fryer Avocado FAQs
I get asked these questions ALL the time about this recipe – here are the answers straight from my crispy avocado-obsessed kitchen:
Can I bake these instead of air frying?
Absolutely! Spread your seasoned slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 400°F for about 10-12 minutes. They won’t get quite as crispy, but still delicious. Just flip halfway through – I learned that the hard way when one side got… let’s call it “extra toasted.”
What’s a good substitute for everything bagel seasoning?
No worries if you’re out! Mix equal parts sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried onion flakes, and salt. Missing an ingredient? Just use what you’ve got – I’ve done garlic powder + sesame seeds in a pinch and it still rocked.
Help! My avocado slices keep sticking to the basket!
Been there! Either give your air fryer basket a quick spritz of oil first, or use those handy parchment liners made for air fryers (life-changing for sticky foods). Also make sure your avocado isn’t OVERLY ripe – that’s usually the culprit.
Can I make these ahead for a party?
Honestly? They’re best fresh. BUT you can prep everything in advance – slice and season the avocados, then keep them covered in the fridge for up to 2 hours before air frying. Just add an extra minute to the cook time since they’ll be cold.
Why does mine keep turning out mushy?
Two likely culprits: either your avocado was too ripe (see my Goldilocks tip above!), or you overcrowded the basket. Give those slices some breathing room – I’d rather do two batches than end up with avocado mush!
Nutritional Information
Okay, let’s talk nutrition real quick – because yes, these crispy avocado bites are actually pretty good for you! The avocado brings all those healthy fats we love, and since we’re air frying instead of deep frying, you’re getting that crunch without all the extra oil. The everything bagel seasoning adds minimal calories but maximum flavor – that’s what I call a win-win situation!
Just remember: Nutritional values are estimates and can vary based on the specific ingredients or brands you use. (Like if you go wild with extra seasoning like I do – no regrets!) But generally, you’re looking at a snack that’s satisfying, wholesome, and way better for you than grabbing a bag of chips when those cravings hit.
