Ingredients
  

4 mini bagels (or whole bagels halved)

1/2 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup sliced pepperoni (or any preferred toppings)

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (187°C) for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures a crispy finish to your bagel pizzas.

    Prep the Bagels: If you're using whole bagels, slice them in half horizontally. If using mini bagels, they are ready to go!

      Spread the Sauce: Place the bagel halves on a clean surface. Evenly spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce on each bagel half, making sure to cover it well.

        Add the Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each bagel half.

          Top with Toppings: Add your preferred toppings, such as pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives. Feel free to get creative!

            Season: Sprinkle the dried oregano and garlic powder over the top of your assembled bagel pizzas to enhance the flavor.

              Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the cheese and toppings to help them crisp up while cooking.

                Air Fry the Bagel Pizzas: Arrange the bagel pizzas in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Air fry at 370°F (187°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bagels are golden brown.

                  Garnish and Serve: Carefully remove the bagel pizzas from the air fryer. Top with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve immediately while hot.

                    Enjoy: Dig in and enjoy your crispy, delicious air fryer bagel pizzas that are perfect for a snack, lunch, or a fun dinner!
