Ingredients

  • 6 mini Bagels
  • 3 tablespoons Butter unsalted
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dried parsley flakes
  • 2 cups Pizza sauce

Toppings:

  • 4 cups Mozzarella shredded
  • 1 cup Italian sausage cooked & crumbled
  • ½ cup Pepperoni

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. Line the air fryer tray with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Add your butter into a small microwave safe bowl and sprinkle in the garlic powder and parsley flakes. Microwave for 30 seconds, or until the butter is melted.
  • Open the mini bagels and place each half onto the lined air fryer tray. Careful not to overcrowd the tray (may have to cook in batches). 
  • Use a basting brush or a spoon to brush the garlic butter over each bagel. Place them in the air fryer for 2 minutes so that they can toast up a bit. 
  • Remove the bagels from the air fryer and start assembling the pizza bites. Spoon some of the 
  • pizza sauce over each bagel and spread it out evenly. 
  • Now sprinkle some mozzarella cheese over each bagel half, followed by your Italian sausage and pepperoni (or any other toppings you’d like).
  • Place the bagel bites back into the air fryer and allow them to cook for 5-7 minutes. Just enough for the cheese to get nice and melty.
  • Remove them from the air fryer and serve with more marinara sauce and ranch dressing. And enjoy!
