Notes
- Check at the 3-minute mark. All air fryers are different, so make sure to check around the 3-minute mark to ensure your bagel bite pizzas are not burning.
- Tomato Sauce: I like marinara, vodka, arrabiata, or pizza sauce. You can even substitute the red sauce for alfredo to make this a white pizza or pesto (I love this 5-minute nut-free pesto recipe).
- Cheese: I love mozzarella, but you can also use your favorite shredded cheese. I recommend cheddar, swiss, Mexican blend, or Italian 4 Cheese.
- Regular-Sized Bagels: You can use a regular-sized bagel instead of mini bagels for this recipe; however, the cooking time will increase. Grab one regular-sized bagel, add 2 – 3 tablespoons of sauce to each bagel half, sprinkle cheese on top, then air fryer for 5 – 8 minutes. I recommend checking at the 5-minute mark since all air fryers are different and may cook yours faster or slower.
- Dairy-Free: You can make these air fryer bagel bites dairy-free by swapping the shredded mozzarella cheese with your favorite dairy-free alternative. There are many kinds of vegan shredded cheese.
- Gluten-Free: Feel free to use your favorite gluten-free mini bagels.
- The nutritional information below is for 2 slices (1 mini bagel) with sauce and cheese.
