Make

Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
Place bagels, cut-side up, on a sheet pan. Transfer to the oven and bake for 3 minutes to crisp the tops.
Top bagels with sauce, cheese, and pepperoni (if using). Return to oven and continue baking until cheese is melted, 10 minutes more.
While bagels bake, toss kale with dressing until salad is dressed to your liking. Top with almonds.
Serve pizza bagels with salad on the side. Enjoy!
