Jeera Puri Inspired Bagel Bites are crispy, golden mini bagels infused with aromatic cumin seeds and a subtle hint of black pepper. Made with almond flour and Greek yogurt, these bite-sized snacks offer a flavorful, gluten-free alternative to traditional bread-based bagels. Perfect as a savory snack or appetizer, they bake up light, fluffy, and delightfully spiced.

  • Total Time: 17-20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 bagel bites

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup super fine blanched almond flour
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • ¼ heaping teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt

Additional

  • Avocado oil spray, for air frying

Instructions

  1. Toast Cumin Seeds: Heat a small pan over medium heat and toast the cumin seeds until they become fragrant and slightly browned. This should take just a few minutes. Remove from heat and let them cool completely. Once cooled, roughly crush the cumin seeds using a mortar and pestle to release their oils and enhance the flavor.
  2. Prepare Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and the crushed cumin seeds. Add the Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients. Using a silicone spatula, mix everything together thoroughly until it forms a cohesive dough. The dough should be pliable and hold together well.
  3. Preheat Cooking Equipment: Preheat your air fryer or oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even cooking and perfect texture for your bagel bites.
  4. Shape Dough Balls: Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth, uniform ball to ensure even cooking and consistent size for the bagel bites.
  5. Cook in Air Fryer (Optional): Line the air fryer basket with perforated parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow air circulation. Arrange the dough balls in a single layer, leaving space between each. Lightly spray the tops with avocado oil to help brown and crisp. Air fry at 330°F (165°C) for 12 to 15 minutes. Twelve minutes typically yields perfectly cooked, golden bagel bites.
  6. Cook in Oven (Optional): Alternatively, place the dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet spaced evenly apart. Bake in the preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for about 15 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top and cooked through.

Notes

  • Toasting cumin seeds enhances their flavor; don’t skip this step.
  • Ensure the dough balls are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
  • Avocado oil spray is recommended to help achieve a crispy exterior.
  • If using the air fryer, perforated parchment helps with airflow and prevents sticking.
  • These bagel bites are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container and reheated gently.
