Ingredients
Scale
Bagel Bites
- 4 mini bagels, halved
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, freshly grated
- Mini pepperoni, as needed
Instructions
- Prepare bagels: Spread pizza sauce evenly on each bagel half, then sprinkle with freshly grated mozzarella cheese and top each with mini pepperoni slices.
- Air fry: Place the prepared bagel halves in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 4 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
- Repeat if necessary: If cooking in batches, repeat the air frying process with remaining bagel halves until all are cooked.
Notes
- TO STORE: Keep leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- TO FREEZE: Bagel bites freeze well; store in the freezer for up to three months.
- TO REHEAT: Reheat in a preheated air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 3-4 minutes until warmed through.
- Variations: Use different base sauces such as pesto, BBQ, basil, or ranch dressing instead of pizza sauce.
- Cheesy option: Try a blend of mozzarella, gorgonzola, parmesan, goat cheese, or cheddar for a four-cheese version.
- Sweet option: Make dessert-style bagel bites with cream cheese, almond butter, strawberry jam, banana, or Nutella toppings.
