Servings 12 bagel bites

Equipment

1 air fryer

Ingredients

6 mini bagels
½ c. pizza sauce
2 c. mozzarella

Instructions

Pre-heat your air fryer to 360F. If your air fryer doesn't have a preheat setting, simply run your air fryer at 360F for about 3 minutes.
Take your mini bagels and slice them in half. On your bagel halves, spread a bit of tomato sauce, top with cheese, spices and any additional toppings.
Place in a single layer in the air fryer basket, you may need to do multiple rounds of cooking depending on the size of your air fryer, but that's ok.
Cook at 360F for 4-6 minutes, or until the cheese is all nice and golden brown. Cooking time will vary based on your air fryer, so I suggest checking in on them at around the 4-minute mark.
Using a pair of tongs, carefully remove the bagel bites one by one and place them on a plate.
Serve immediately and enjoy your air-fried bagel bites.

Notes

Variations

Say you want to stray from the traditional pizza recipe, here are some fun variations you can try next time you're craving an easy bagel bites recipe.

Buffalo Bagel Bites. Swap the pizza sauce for buffalo sauce, top with cheddar cheese, and sprinkle with ranch seasoning. You could also include blue cheese if that's your style, too.

BBQ Chicken. Swap the pizza sauce for your favorite bbq sauce, top with a blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheese, finely diced red onion, and little bits of shredded chicken for a fun twist on homemade pizza bagel bites.

White Pizza Bites. Swap the red sauce for olive oil, top with ricotta cheese, mozzarella, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
