Making pizza toast in the air fryer is quick and easy. Here’s a simple recipe for delicious air-fried pizza toast:
Ingredients:
- Slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or your preference)
- Olive oil or melted butter
- Pizza sauce
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Your favorite pizza toppings (e.g., pepperoni, sliced bell peppers, olives, mushrooms)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Bread:
- Lightly brush one side of each bread slice with olive oil or melted butter. This will help the bread become crispy in the air fryer.
- Assemble the Pizza Toast:
- Place the bread slices, oiled side down, on a clean surface or a plate. Spread a layer of pizza sauce on the untoasted side of each slice.
- Add Toppings:
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Add your favorite pizza toppings, such as pepperoni, sliced bell peppers, olives, or mushrooms.
- Air Fry:
- Place the prepared pizza toasts in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between them. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches.
- Cook:
- Air fry the pizza toast for about 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted, and the edges of the bread are crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Serve:
- Carefully remove the pizza toasts from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute before slicing.
- Optional: Garnish:
- Garnish with fresh herbs like basil or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan if desired.
- Enjoy:
- Serve your air-fried pizza toast hot and enjoy a quick and tasty snack or light meal.
