Air Fryer Bagel Bites

Bagel bites make a quick and fun option for lunch, especially when you’re short on time. These bagels are topped with savoury pizza flavours like tomato paste, cheese, and sometimes pepperoni, offering a bite-sized twist on a classic favorite.  They’re easy to heat in the air fryer, making them convenient for kids, busy adults, or anyone craving a simple, satisfying meal. Pair them with a side salad or some fresh fruit, and you’ve got a fast lunch that feels both playful and filling.

In this blog post, you will learn how to make bagel bites.

How to Make Bagel Bites

Take your plain bagels and slice them in half.

Spread the tomato past on both sides of the bagels.

Place the pepperoni slices on top then add the chorizo on top.  Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the meat.

Place into the air fryer and fry for about 5 minutes.

Remove from the air fryer and enjoy!

Storage

Because this lunch idea is so easy to make, I would recommend making them then eating them right away.

However, you can keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Ingredients

Plain Bagels:  plain bagels are the base of the recipe, providing a chewy, sturdy foundation for all the toppings.  Try making my own Homemade Bagels!

Tomato Paste: tomato paste acts as the pizza-style sauce, adding rich, tangy flavor to the mini bites.

Mini Slices of Pepperoni: the mini slices of pepperoni bring a savoury, slightly spicy kick and classic pizza taste.

Chorizo: chorizo adds bold, smoky flavor and extra protein, giving the bites a flavorful twist.

Cheddar Cheese (grated): cheddar cheese melts into a gooey, golden topping that holds everything together and adds cheesy richness.

Tips

• Be really careful when cooking in the air fryer, as this recipe can overcook very easily.
