Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 5-7 minutes
Total Time: 10-12 minutes
Recipe Intensity: Easy
Ingredients:
- 2 whole wheat or white pita bread rounds
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Your choice of pizza toppings (e.g., pepperoni, sliced bell peppers, onions, olives, mushrooms, etc.)
- Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Place the pita bread rounds on a clean work surface.
- Spread a generous amount of pizza sauce or marinara sauce evenly over each pita bread round, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, covering the entire surface of the pita bread.
- Add your desired pizza toppings over the cheese. Be mindful not to overload the pita bread to prevent toppings from falling off during cooking.
- Lightly brush the edges of the pita bread with olive oil or spray them with cooking spray. This helps the edges crisp up nicely.
- Carefully transfer the prepared pita pizzas to the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air fry the pita pizzas at 400°F (200°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the pita bread are crispy and golden brown.
- Once done, remove the pita pizzas from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula and transfer them to a cutting board.
- Let the pizzas cool for a minute before slicing them into wedges.
- Serve the air fryer pita pizzas hot and enjoy!
Note: Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the pita bread and the toppings used. Keep an eye on the pizzas during cooking to avoid burning.
