Ingredients

1 naan
3-4 tablespoons pizza sauce or sauce of your choice
¾-1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese thick cut
7 pepperonis or toppings of your choice
6 pieces basil or toppings of your choice

Instructions

Place 1 piece of naan bread into air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 375°F (degrees Fahrenheit) until lightly golden.
Carefully flip the naan bread. Spread pizza sauce onto the naan.
Top with cheese and toppings of your choice.
Air fry at 375°F (degrees Fahrenheit) for another 5-7 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and edges are golden brown.
Let the naan pizza cool for a few minutes. Carefully remove the naan pizza and place on a plate. Slice and top with any additional toppings/sauce you might want. Enjoy!

Notes

If you want to make your Naan Pizza extra crispy, after cooking for the first 3-5 minutes, flipping and cook it the other side with no sauce or toppings for another 2-4 minutes at 475°F (degrees Fahrenheit). Then, add on sauce, cheese, topping and air fry again. Cooking it for around 5 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are crispy.

Every air fryer model and toppings cooks a little different - You might need to add a few more minutes to get the pizza to your preferred texture if you’re cooking in a large oven style or toaster style air fryer. Also, some topping cook different than others, check on you naan pizza a few minutes before the timer ends.

Careful flying cheese and toppings! I like using thick cut cheese or fresh mozzarella as it doesn't fly around as much in the air fryer. Adding a little bit of shredded cheese on top of the pepperoni (or toppings of your choice) also helps keep the toppings from flying around. Alternative, you can check after 1 minute and carefully reset the topping(s). By then, usually the cheese is melted enough it acts like a glue to help the toppings stick better.

Timing will vary if you cook more than one naan pizza - Maybe you're cooking for two! Cooking the naan pizza back to back gets the air fryer pretty hot. I would check your timing a minute or two before to ensure it doesn't burn.

Caution Hot! This is probably pretty self explanatory but while flipping and adding your ingredients to your naan the air fryer will be hot. Be carefully your bare hands don't touch the side. You can use oven mitts or be extremely carefully when topping.
