Pizza Bagels

Crispy, cheesy, and ready in minutes—these air fryer pizza bagels are the perfect quick snack or fun dinner. Customize with your favorite toppings and enjoy a personal pizza with a toasty bagel twist.

Ingredients

  • 2 plain bagels, split

  • ½ cup jarred tomato sauce

  • 4 slices provolone cheese (about 4 oz)

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 4 oz)

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

  • Optional toppings:

    • Mini pepperoni slices

    • Sliced roasted red peppers

    • Sliced black olives

    • Banana pepper rings

  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Toast Bagels:
    Preheat your 6-quart air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
    Place the bagel halves, cut-side up, in the basket and air fry for 2 minutes until lightly toasted.

  2. Assemble the Pizza Bagels:
    Remove the bagels from the air fryer.
    Top each half with:

    • 2 tbsp tomato sauce

    • 1 slice of provolone

    • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella

    • ¼ tsp dried oregano

    • A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

    • Any desired toppings (pepperoni, olives, etc.)

  3. Air Fry Until Crispy and Melty:
    Return the topped bagels to the air fryer.
    Cook at 350°F for 4–5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden in spots.

  4. Serve:
    Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan and serve hot.

For extra crispiness, lightly spray the bagels with olive oil before toasting. And don’t overcrowd the air fryer—cook in batches if needed for even results.
