- Fast & Convenient: Ready in just 10 minutes, including prep and cook time.
- Customizable: Use your favorite toppings to make it your own.

Ingredients
- 1 Naan Bread: I recommend Stonegate mini naan for a perfect size and texture.
- 3 tbsp Pizza Sauce: Use your favorite brand or homemade sauce.
- 3 tbsp Shredded Pizza Cheese: Shredded mozzarella or a pizza blend works great.
- 4 slices Pepperoni: Or swap for your favorite protein or veggie toppings.
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Place the naan bread on an air fryer paper liner.
- Assemble Your Pizza: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the naan. Sprinkle most of the shredded cheese on top of the sauce. Add the pepperoni slices (or your chosen toppings) and finish with a sprinkle of the remaining cheese.
- Air Fry: Set your air fryer to 375°F. Place the liner and pizza into the air fryer basket. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and golden brown.
- Serve & Enjoy: Carefully remove the pizza from the air fryer and serve immediately. Pair with a side salad or enjoy it as is!
Pro Tips
- Topping Ideas: Try adding fresh basil, diced veggies, crumbled sausage, or olives to mix things up.
- Crispier Crust: For a crispier base, preheat the air fryer or lightly brush the naan with olive oil before adding the toppings.
- Leftovers: Reheat leftover slices in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to bring them back to life.
FAQs
Can I use a different type of bread?
Yes! While naan works best for its sturdy texture, you can use flatbread, pita, or even a tortilla for a thinner crust.
How do I prevent the cheese from burning?
Keep a close eye on the pizza during the last few minutes of cooking. Adjust the cook time slightly based on your air fryer’s power.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Absolutely! Just swap the naan for a gluten-free flatbread.
