Ingredients
Scale
- 1 frozen pizza (10 to 12 inches, any brand or flavor)
- Cooking spray (optional)
- Optional toppings: fresh basil leaves, extra shredded cheese, olive oil drizzle
- Optional seasonings: red pepper flakes, garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the frozen pizza flat in the air fryer basket, ensuring it does not overlap the edges.
- Air fry the pizza at 400°F (204°C) for 5 to 7 minutes, watching closely during the last minutes.
- Check that the crust is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Add 1-2 minutes if extra crispiness is desired.
- Use tongs or a spatula to carefully remove the pizza from the basket.
- Let the pizza rest for 2 minutes before slicing to allow the cheese to set.
- Optionally, sprinkle fresh basil, extra cheese, or drizzle olive oil on top before serving.
Notes
Preheating the air fryer is essential for a crispy crust. Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure even cooking. If pizza toppings are frozen solid, defrost slightly before cooking. Flipping the pizza halfway is optional depending on your air fryer model. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat at 350°F for 3-4 minutes in the air fryer.
