Olive oil optional, for brushing crust
Spices: oregano chili flakes, garlic powder (optional)

Equipment

Rolling pin (if using dough)

Measuring cups and spoons

Method

Prepare the base: Roll out the dough or use pre-made mini pizza bases. Make sure the base fits your air fryer basket. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (356°F).
Add sauce and cheese: Spread a thin layer of tomato or pizza sauce over the base. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Add toppings: Arrange your favorite toppings, such as pepperoni or vegetables. Sprinkle oregano or chili flakes if desired. Keep toppings balanced to avoid soggy pizza.
Cook the pizza: Place the mini pizza in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 5–8 minutes until the cheese melts and the crust turns golden brown. Check halfway for even cooking.
Serve: Carefully remove from the air fryer and serve hot. Pair with marinara, garlic dip, or ranch sauce for extra flavor.

Notes

Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer and pizza thickness.
Avoid adding too many toppings to maintain a crispy crust.
Vegan or gluten-free options can be used with alternative crusts and cheese.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for 2–3 days and reheated in the air fryer for 3–4 minutes.
Experiment with creative toppings like chicken, pineapple, or dessert-style options.
