Craving a quick and tasty snack that will satisfy your pizza cravings? Look no further than these mouthwatering Homemade Air Fryer Pizza Bagels! With just a few simple ingredients and your trusty air fryer, you can whip up these cheesy, crispy bites in no time.
Ingredients
- 2 bagels, sliced in half (plain or your favorite variety)
- 4 tablespoons pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 3–4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- 16 slices pepperoni (or substitute with turkey pepperoni or vegetarian slices)
- Sliced olives
- Bell peppers
- Mushrooms
- Red onions
- Diced tomatoes
Instructions
1. Start by slicing the bagels in half. If you prefer a crispier texture, you can lightly toast the bagel halves before assembling your homemade air fryer pizza bagels.
2. Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce over each bagel half, making sure to cover the surface evenly. Then, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, distributing it evenly across the bagel halves.
3. Next, add your desired toppings. Lay the pepperoni slices over the cheese, or feel free to get creative and add any of your favorite pizza toppings.
4. Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (190°C). Carefully place the prepared bagel halves in the air fryer basket, making sure they are in a single layer. Cook for 4–6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
While you can use any type of bagel for your homemade air fryer pizza bagels, plain or garlic bagels tend to work best. The neutral or savory flavors of these bagels complement the pizza toppings perfectly.
Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the make and model of your air fryer. Keep a close eye on the homemade air fryer pizza bagels during the cooking process and adjust the time as needed to achieve your desired level of crispiness.
Don’t be afraid to get creative with your toppings! In addition to the classics like pepperoni and vegetables, you can try adding cooked sausage, crumbled bacon, diced ham, or even pineapple for a Hawaiian twist.
