Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 plain bagels, halved
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the bagel halves cut-side up in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  3. Spoon about one tablespoon of pizza sauce onto each bagel half.
  4. Top the sauce evenly with mozzarella cheese.
  5. Add pepperoni slices to each bagel if you are using them.
  6. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the cheese, if desired.
  7. Air fry for 6 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the bagel edges are lightly toasted. Check at 6 minutes to prevent burning.
  8. Carefully remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For crispier bagels, toast the bagel halves plain in the air fryer for 2 minutes before adding toppings.
  • You can substitute pizza sauce with pesto or Alfredo sauce for a different flavor profile.
  • Use mini bagels for quick, kid-friendly pizza bagel bites.
