Ingredients
  

6 mini bagels (plain or whole wheat)

1 cup pizza sauce

1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup pepperoni slices (or veggie toppings of choice)

½ cup sliced black olives

½ cup green bell pepper, diced

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp Italian seasoning

½ tsp garlic powder

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Olive oil spray (or melted butter, for brushing)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil spray.

    Prepare the Bagels: Slice the mini bagels in half and arrange them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

      Sauce it Up: Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce onto each bagel half, ensuring an even coating.

        Cheesy Goodness: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over each sauced bagel half. Make sure to leave some space on the edges to prevent spillage.

          Top it Off: Place 3-4 pepperoni slices or your chosen veggie toppings on top of the cheese. Scatter the sliced black olives and diced green bell peppers evenly across the bagels.

            Season and Finish: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top of each bagel bite and dust with Italian seasoning and garlic powder for added flavor.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bagels are slightly golden.

                Serve: Remove the pizza bagel nacho bites from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve warm.
