Ingredients
  

6 mini bagels, halved

1 cup marinara sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup pepperoni slices, cut into quarters

½ cup sliced black olives (optional)

¼ cup diced bell peppers (any color)

¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Olive oil spray or melted butter, for brushing

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Bagels: Arrange the halved mini bagels on a baking sheet, cut side up. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil spray or melted butter for a crispy finish.

      Add the Sauce: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce onto each bagel half, spreading it evenly.

        Layer the Toppings: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each bagel half. Top with pepperoni pieces, black olives (if using), and diced bell peppers.

          Season: Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and garlic powder over the assembled mini pizzas for extra flavor.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving for an added touch of freshness.

                Enjoy: Serve warm as a fun appetizer, snack, or game-day treat!
