Pizza Bagels

Toppings
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
- 1/4 cup sliced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup sliced olives
Italian Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your pizza bagels cook evenly and become perfectly crispy.
- Prepare the Bagels: Slice the bagels in half and place them on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce on each half, making sure to cover the edges.
- Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle a handful of mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by your choice of toppings. Don’t forget to add a dash of Italian seasoning for an extra burst of flavor!
- Air Fry the Bagels: Place the prepared bagels in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bagel edges are crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, carefully remove the pizza bagels from the air fryer. Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious snacks!
Notes
- Don’t Overcrowd: Cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Experiment with Sauces: Try different sauces like pesto or alfredo for a unique flavor.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and quality cheese can significantly enhance the taste.
- Keep an Eye on Cooking Time: Air fryers can vary, so check your bagels a minute or two early to avoid burning.
- Let Them Cool: Allow the bagels to cool slightly before serving to let the cheese set a bit.
