I make this recipe in my Cosori air fryer. Depending on your air fryer, size and wattages, cooking time may need to be adjusted 1-2 minutes.

FAQs

Can I make this air fryer recipe low carb?

Low carbs and pizza can go hand in hand! You can make this easy recipe with low carb English muffins for a quick meal. Toasted English muffins that are low in net carbs are a simple way to enjoy an English muffin half without any of the guilt. You can also use a low carb bagel as well for this recipe!

What can I use instead of pizza sauce?

The best part of pizza for many is the pizza sauce, but if you’re not a pizza sauce fan, you don’t have to be! You can skip the homemade pizza sauce or the store-bought sauce and use olive oil for the best results.

When you’re making mini pizzas, it’s easy to change up the topping that you use, to change up the flavor and the taste. Some people may even use marinara sauce on their whole wheat muffins instead of tomato sauce. Change it up and see what you prefer!

Variations

Turn it into a breakfast pizza – Use a whole wheat muffin, add some sausage, sprinkle cheese, and add fresh basil on top. You can easily make this a fun breakfast pizza for the whole family.
Add veggies – You can easily add green peppers, fresh tomatoes, and more! I also love adding extra sauce as well! More toppings equal more sauce!
