Ingredients:
- 4 bagels (sliced in half)
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Pepperoni slices (or your favorite pizza toppings)
- Olive oil (optional, for brushing)
- Dried oregano (optional, for seasoning)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Prepare the Bagels:
- Slice the bagels in half if they are not already pre-sliced.
- If desired, lightly brush the bagel halves with olive oil for extra crispiness.
- Add the Sauce and Cheese:
- Spread a generous amount of pizza sauce on each bagel half.
- Sprinkle a good amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
- Add Toppings:
- Place pepperoni slices or any other preferred toppings on top of the cheese.
- Cook in the Air Fryer:
- Arrange the bagel halves in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bagels are crispy.
- Season and Serve:
- If desired, sprinkle dried oregano on top of the cooked pizza bagels.
- Let them cool slightly before serving.
Tips:
- Customize your pizza bagels with different toppings like mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, sausage, or any other favorites.
- Be mindful of the air fryer capacity. Overcrowding can result in uneven cooking.
- Keep an eye on the bagels while they cook to prevent over-browning.
