As easy as pulling one out of the freezer and heating it up, making a mini pizza in the air fryer is an easy lunch or dinner. It takes less than 10 minutes to make, and does not require preheating the oven! Use your favorite brand of mini pizza and enjoy it in minutes.
While I love cooking, sometimes you just need something quick. I like to keep frozen mini pizzas on hand for an easy lunch or late night snack when I don't feel like preparing anything.
My favorite brand is the Home Run Inn mini pizzas. They have different varieties like sausage and pepperoni, veggie, and plain cheese. The crust is crisp and buttery and turns out perfectly in my ninja foodi air fryer.
Why you'll love this cooking method
- It's quicker than the oven! Making a personal pizza in the air fryer means no preheating.The actual cook time is about 10 minutes or less, which is a total win in my book.
- The pizza comes out perfectly done. Cooking frozen pizza is easy, but it's always nice to have it come out just the way you want it! Air fryer pizza has a crisp crust and a lightly golden brown top.
- It doesn't heat up your whole kitchen. Especially with summer rolling around, the air fryer has been especially helpful for heating up food without using the oven which keeps the house cool.
