Ingredients:
- 2 pieces of naan bread (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Your favorite pizza toppings (e.g., sliced pepperoni, bell peppers, olives, mushrooms, etc.)
- Olive oil (for brushing)
- Fresh basil or parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Preparing the Naan Bread Pizzas:
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Assemble Pizzas: Place the naan bread on a clean surface or a plate. Spread a layer of pizza sauce over each naan, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Add Toppings: Customize your naan bread pizzas with your favorite toppings. Add sliced pepperoni, bell peppers, olives, mushrooms, or any other toppings you prefer.
- Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the edges of the naan with olive oil. This will help them turn golden and crispy in the air fryer.
Air Frying:
- Air Fry: Place the assembled naan bread pizzas in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overlapping. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.
- Cooking Time: Air fry for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the naan are golden brown and crisp. Check after 6 minutes to ensure they don’t overcook.
- Check for Doneness: Carefully lift one of the naan bread pizzas to check if the bottom is crisp and golden brown.
Serving:
- Garnish (Optional): If desired, garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a burst of freshness.
- Slice and Serve: Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, slice the naan bread pizzas into wedges. Serve hot.
