Ingredients for Air Fryer Pizza

Personal-size pizza in minutes

  • 1 small flatbread or 6-inch pizza base
  • 2 tbsp pizza sauce
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella
  • 2–3 sliced mushrooms
  • ½ bell pepper, sliced
  • Dried oregano to taste

Optional Toppings

  • Sliced olives
  • Fresh basil

Choose the Right Base

Use a flatbread or thin pizza crust so the middle cooks through before the top over-browns.
