Description
A fast and easy method to cook frozen personal pan pizzas in the air fryer, resulting in crispy edges and melty cheese for a perfect lunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 frozen personal pan pizza (6–8 inches)
- Optional extra toppings: shredded mozzarella, pepperoni slices, fresh basil
- Cooking spray or oil (e.g., avocado oil spray)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (182°C) for 3 minutes.
- Spray the air fryer basket lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the frozen personal pan pizza flat in the basket, ensuring it does not overlap the sides.
- Cook for 7-9 minutes at 360°F (182°C), checking around 7 minutes for doneness.
- Check that the cheese is melted and slightly browned and the crust is firm and crispy.
- Carefully remove the pizza using tongs or a spatula.
- Add any extra toppings such as fresh basil or extra mozzarella; if adding cheese, air fry for an additional 1 minute at 360°F (182°C) to melt.
- Slice into four pieces and serve immediately.
Notes
[‘Preheating the air fryer is essential for a crispy crust.’, ‘Check the pizza early to avoid overcooking as air fryer models vary.’, ‘Use a light spray of cooking oil to prevent sticking.’, ‘Add fresh toppings after cooking to keep them flavorful.’, ‘Cook one pizza at a time to ensure even cooking and crispiness.’, ‘For smaller air fryers, fold the pizza like a calzone or cut into halves.’]
