- Optional: fresh basil, oregano, or red pepper flakes for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
- Slice the bagels in half and place them cut side up on a board or tray.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over each bagel half.
- Top with shredded mozzarella, making sure to cover the sauce completely.
- Add 4 slices of pepperoni to each half, spacing them evenly.

Notes
 For extra crispiness, lightly toast the bagels before adding toppings. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the air fryer. Freeze uncooked assembled bagels for up to 2 months and cook directly from frozen.
