Ingredients:

• A frozen pizza - you can use any type of frozen pizza that you like, just be sure you don't buy one that's too big to fit in your air fryer - 10 inches is the biggest that will fit in most models.

Taste and texture: 

The pizza will have a perfectly cooked crust, and if you use a thin crust pizza it will be nice and crisp, whereas if you use a deep dish style pizza it will be softer.

The taste will vary depending on the flavour of pizza that you cook. My personal favourite flavour is Hawaiian! 

How to cook: 

Step one: 

First you will want to preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Step two: 

Next, place the frozen pizza in your air fryer, directly on the tray or in the basket, and cook it at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 6-10 minutes.

*The cooking times will depend on the type of pizza you have and how large it is as well as the type of air fryer that you have. I found that a 10 inch pizza usually takes 9 minutes to cook.

Please refer to the air fryer frozen pizza time chart below for a rough guide of the times you should use for different types of pizzas.

Chef's tips:

• Every model of air fryer is different, so you may have to adjust the cooking time if you are using a different model than I do. 
• Depending on the size and type of the frozen pizza that you have, you may have to adjust the cooking times.
• If the pizza that you buy comes with a parchment paper round, don't use it when you cook the pizza in the air fryer as the crust won't cook as well.
• If food tends to stick to your air fryer, give the tray or basket a spray with avocado oil (or another cooking oil) before cooking the frozen pizza on it.
• If you find the pizza toppings are burning when you air fry them, give the top of the frozen pizza a spray with avocado oil (or another cooking oil of choice) before cooking it in your air fryer.
• If you don't pre-heat your air fryer you will need to add more cooking time. 

Variations and add ins: 

• Feel free to add other toppings to your pizza before air frying it. Some options include extra veggies like chopped bell peppers, fruit like pineapple, olives, anchovies, or meat. 
• After cooking feel free to add extra toppings like chopped fresh tomato or your favourite seasonings.
