Carefully set the topped bagel halves in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

Remove the bagel pizzas from the air fryer using tongs. Let them cool for 2 minutes before serving.

Air frying in batches ensures even cooking and crisp results. Use parchment paper or a silicone liner if your air fryer basket is prone to sticking.
