Ingredients You’ll Need
To make these delicious Air Fryer Mini Pizzas, gather these simple ingredients:
- Mini pizza crusts (English muffins, pita bread, or small naan work well)
- Pizza sauce or marinara
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Your favorite toppings: pepperoni, bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, cooked chicken, or even pineapple
- Olive oil spray or brush of oil (optional)
Step‑by‑Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for 2–3 minutes. A preheated basket ensures an evenly crisp crust.
Step 2: Assemble the Mini Pizzas
Place your mini bases on a clean surface.
Spread 1–2 tablespoons of pizza sauce on each.
Add a layer of mozzarella cheese and your desired toppings.
Keep it balanced — too many toppings can prevent even cooking.
Step 3: Air Fry the Pizzas
Place the mini pizzas in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook for 5–7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
If your air fryer is small, work in batches for best results.
Step 4: Cool and Serve
Remove the pizzas carefully and let them cool for one minute.
Serve warm, sprinkled with extra oregano or chili flakes if desired.
Tips for the Best Air Fryer Mini Pizzas
- Don’t overcrowd the basket: Air needs to circulate for perfect crispiness.
- Use different sauces: Try BBQ sauce, pesto, or Alfredo for fun flavor twists.
- Frozen? You can air fry directly from frozen — just add 1–2 minutes.
- Reheat leftovers: Pop them back into the air fryer for 2–3 minutes to get that fresh‑baked texture again.
Serving Ideas
These mini pizzas are ideal for:
- After‑school snacks for kids.
- Party appetizers or game night bites.
- Quick dinners when you want something satisfying yet effortless.
Pair them with a side salad, garlic dip, or marinara sauce for an extra treat.
