Ingredients
  

2 plain or everything bagels, halved

½ cup marinara sauce or pizza sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup sliced pepperoni or your favorite toppings (e.g., bell peppers, olives, mushrooms)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Olive oil spray (or a drizzle of olive oil)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat while you prepare the bagels.

    Prepare the Bagels: Cut the bagels in half. If you desire extra crispiness, lightly toast them in a regular toaster for 2-3 minutes or use the air fryer for 3 minutes before applying sauce.

      Add Sauce: Spread 1-2 tablespoons of marinara sauce on each half of the bagels, ensuring even coverage.

        Layer Toppings: Top each sauced bagel half with an even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese. Then, distribute your choice of toppings (pepperoni, veggies, etc.) across the cheese.

          Season: Sprinkle dried oregano and garlic powder evenly over the topped bagels for added flavor.

            Air Frying: Lightly spray the tops of the bagel pizzas with olive oil or drizzle a small amount over them. Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they’re not crowded. You can do this in batches if necessary.

              Cook: Air fry the bagel pizzas at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bagels are crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

                Garnish: Once cooked, carefully remove the bagel pizzas from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula. Optionally, top with fresh basil leaves for an aromatic touch.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Allow them to cool for a minute, then slice if desired and serve. Enjoy your crispy and delicious air fryer bagel pizzas!
