Ingredients and Substitutions

Ingredients needed to make pizza bagels.

Bagels. I like full-sized bagels but the best thing about this recipe is you can use gluten-free bagels, mini bagels, or any bagel you prefer. No bagel? No problem. English muffins, naan bread or tortillas would be yummy substitutions.
Pizza Sauce. Use any sauce you have at home or use a pizza sauce. I also love using leftover Italian Pasta Sauce or vodka sauce.
Mini pepperonis. Top these little pizzas with your favorite toppings like pepperoni, sausage, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, or mushrooms.

How to Make Air Fryer Pizza Bagels

Sarah's Top Tips

I recommend building from sauce up. Nothing makes a pizza like the sauce you use.
Homemade bagel pizzas become soggy after 15 minutes so I would serve and enjoy them immediately.
Add red pepper flakes for a spice kick.
Make them in the oven instead. These homemade pizza bagels can easily be cooked oven-style. Bake them at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

Serving

These air fryer bagel pizzas are a great way to kick off your next party and see how much your guests love them. Make it fun for the kids and do a 'make your own' night. They love it and guess what? You get a break!

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch, garlic butter or extra sauce!

Storage & Reheating

Store pizza bagels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or wrap them tightly and store in the freezer for 3 months. The best way to reheat is to bake the bagels in the air fryer at 375 degrees F for 3-4 minutes. If frozen, microwave for 3 minutes before baking.
