- 1/4 cup mini pepperoni slices
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F to get it ready for toasting the bagels.
- Toast Bagels: Lightly spray the cut sides of the bagels with olive oil. Place them cut-side up in the air fryer basket and air fry for 2 to 3 minutes until they are lightly toasted and slightly crisp.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce, then add mini pepperoni slices, black olives, and diced bell peppers. Season lightly with Italian seasoning and garlic powder for extra flavor.
- Cook Pizza Bagels: Place the topped bagels back into the air fryer basket and cook for 4 to 6 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
- Serve: Carefully remove the pizza bagels from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your quick, tasty snack!
Notes
- Customize toppings with cooked sausage, mushrooms, onions, or pineapple to your taste.
- For an extra crispy bagel base, toast the bagels for an additional minute before adding toppings.
- Make sure not to overload the air fryer basket to allow even air circulation and cooking.
