Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Carefully slice each mini bagel horizontally to create two rounds.
Place the bagel halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, combine the unsalted tomato paste, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Stir well to create a spreadable sauce.
Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of the sauce over each bagel half.
Sprinkle a generous pinch of shredded low sodium mozzarella cheese over each bagel half, covering the sauce evenly.
Top each mini pizza bagel with a few pieces of chopped red bell pepper and fresh basil leaves.
For an added kick, you can sprinkle a small pinch of crushed red pepper flakes over each bagel (this step is optional).
Bake the mini pizza bagels in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bagels are lightly crisped.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious and healthier twist on mini pizza bagels!
