Air Fryer

Ingredients

2 standard bagels or 4 mini bagels
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon oregano
3 tablespoons pizza sauce
½ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese optional

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

If needed, preheat the air fryer to 370℉ (180℃).
Brush the bagel halves with olive oil and then sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano. Place the bagel halves in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray and air-fry for 3 minutes, or until golden.
Remove the bagel halves from the air fryer. Spread each half with a thin layer of pizza sauce and sprinkle evenly with mozzarella cheese. Add parmesan cheese if using, along with any additional toppings desired.
Return the bagel pizzas to the air fryer basket or tray and air fry 4 minutes at 370℉ (180℃) or until the cheese is melted and golden. Note: If you just want your cheese melted, not golden, cook for only 3 minutes.
Remove the bagel pizzas and allow to cool for 1-2 minute before enjoying.

Notes

Doubling Recipe: You can make as many, or as few, Bagel Pizzas as you like. Most air fryers will comfortably fit 3 bagel halves at a time, while some models may only fit 2 at a time, and others can fit 4-6.

Toppings: Any topping you like on your pizza works to use on Air Fryer Pizzas.

Cheese: Shredded mozzarella, shredded Italian cheese blend, fresh sliced mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, or sliced provolone, all work for using to top your pizzas with.

Storage: Leftover bagel pizzas can be stored in an airtight container for 4 days after cooled to room temperature. Reheat in air fryer for 1-2 minutes at 380℉.

Freeze in Advance: Season and toast bagel halves. Once toasted, place on a sheet pan and add sauce, cheese, and toppings of choice. Flash freeze for 1-2 hours, then transfer to freezer-safe bag. Air-fry from frozen at 370℉ for 5-8 minutes, or until warmed through and the cheese has melted.
