Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 plain bagels, halved
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni or sliced regular pepperoni
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Olive oil spray (optional)

Optional Toppings

  • Diced bell peppers
  • Olives
  • Mushrooms
  • Red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 370°F (188°C) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even cooking of the pizza bagels.
  2. Prepare the bagels: Lightly spray the cut sides of the bagel halves with olive oil if desired, which adds extra crispiness and flavor.
  3. Add sauce and toppings: Place bagel halves cut side up on a flat surface. Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over each half. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, and any optional toppings you prefer. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the top for added flavor.
  4. Cook in batches: Arrange the assembled bagel pizzas in a single layer inside the air fryer basket—avoid overcrowding. Depending on your air fryer size, you may need to cook in multiple batches.
  5. Air fry: Cook the bagel pizzas for 5 to 6 minutes at 370°F until the cheese melts, becomes bubbly, and the bagels turn crispy and golden around the edges.
  6. Cool and serve: Carefully remove the pizzas from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly before serving to avoid burns and let flavors meld.

Notes

  • Use whole wheat or gluten-free bagels to accommodate dietary preferences or restrictions.
  • This recipe is great for kids and highly customizable—add any of your favorite pizza toppings.
  • Bagel pizzas can be prepared ahead and frozen uncooked; increase air frying time by 1-2 minutes when cooking from frozen.
