How to make homemade pizza bites in the air fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees. It will take about 5 minutes to heat up which is plenty of time to make your mini pizzas.
Place a spoonful of pizza sauce on your mini bagel halves and spread it to cover the whole thing. Add your cheese and top with pepperoni.
Place 4 mini bagel halves into the air fryer basket. Set the timer to 2 minutes and allow to cook. Your cheese should be melted and the bagels heated through after the timer is done.
Continue to cook the pizza bagel bites in batches of 4 until they are all cooked. Allow to cool slightly and enjoy!
Place any leftover pizza bites in a plastic food storage bag or container and keep in the refrigerator. They will last up to 3 days in the fridge.
You can also freeze the air fryer bagel bites. Place your cooked pizza bites in a food storage bag or freezer-safe container and put in the freezer. They will keep for about 3 months if stored properly.
To re-heat, take them from the freezer and place them in the microwave for 1 minute. They should be ready to eat again after warming up!
