Ingredients

For The Pizza Bagels

  • 4 Gluten-Free Bagels
  • 1/2-1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2-3/4 cup Pizza Sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups Grated Mozzarella Cheese
  • 2-3 ounces Pepperoni (We Like Mini Pepperoni!)

For The Pizza Sprinkle

  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Fresh Basil, Dried Parsley, or Dried Oregano
  • Black Pepper
  • Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat & Prep. To start, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease, and set aside.
  • Prep The Bagel Halves. Then, slice each bagel in half and brush the cut side of each bagel half with a little olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic salt and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes to slightly toast. (It doesn't need to brown, but you want the surface to get a little crispy!)
  • Layer With Toppings. Use an offset spatula to spread 2-3 Tablespoons of pizza sauce on each toasted bagel half. Then, add mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices.
  • Bake Pizza Bagels for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted. If desired, you can put them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes at the end for a bit more browning and bubbling.
  • Finish The Pizzas. After removing them from the oven, sprinkle bagel pizzas with extras like parmesan cheese, herbs, pepper, or red pepper flakes.
  • Serve & Store. Enjoy warm! Store leftover bagel pizzas in an airtight container in the fridge 1-2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results!

Notes

  • Gluten-Free Bagels. Different brands will toast differently. We've made them with Canyon Bakehouse & Trader Joe's gluten-free bagels, and the TJ's ones brown much more quickly! Keep in mind if you use bagel thins or mini bagels, they'll cook much quicker! 
  • Air Fryer Version: Follow the directions above, but reduce the cook times. You'll only toast the bagels at 375 degrees F for 5-8 minutes, then bake for another 2-3 minutes after adding toppings. You'll need to work in batches--my air fryer can fit 4 bagel halves. 
  • More Toppings To Try. We're big fans of gluten-free pepperoni pizza bagels, but you can absolutely add your favorite pizza toppings--black olives, pineapple, ham, bacon, cooked crumbled sausage, mushrooms, bell peppers, etc! Do keep in mind that less is more here as far as quantity, since you have less surface area to work with.
