How do you make Air Fryer Pizza Bagels?

Easy Air Fryer Pizza Bagels are a favorite around here, especially with the kids. I use gluten-free bagels to make this a gluten-free meal, but that is completely optional.

The bagels will be cut in half lengthwise, then your pizza toppings added to the top of the bagels. The bagel halves will then be placed in the air fryer basket. These bagels can be air fried at 360 degrees F for 4-5 minutes or until the cheese has fully melted.

It is always recommended to check on them about halfway through the cooking time so that you can be sure they are not overcooking. All air fryer machines do heat differently.

That means you have the best quick lunch or easy meal ready to eat in less than 10 minutes and easy enough for the older kids to make for themselves too!

How do you store leftover pizza bagels?

Once fully cooled, store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When ready to reheat, heat in the air fryer at 350 degrees F for 2-3 minutes until warm.

These can be made as Ninja Foodi Pizza Bagels too; just use the Air Crisp Function in the Ninja Foodi Multi-Cooker or Air Fryer.
