- green onions sliced, optional
Instructions
- Remove the frozen pizza from the box and plastic packaging.2 Red Baron Deep Dish Singles
- Place pizza in the air fryer basket and slide back into the air fryer.
- Set the air fryer temperature to 360F and the timer to 6 - 7 minutes if you plan to jazz up your pizza with extra toppings, or 7-8 minutes if you plan to eat it right with no additional toppings.
- After 6 - 7 minutes, pull the air fryer basket out if you plan to add extra cheese or other toppings. Air fry for 2 additional minutes if you are NOT adding extra toppings, or if your frozen pizza is not as brown as you prefer.
- If jazzing up your frozen pizza, sprinkle on some garlic powder, red chili flakes, sliced green onion, and of course, extra Mozzarella cheese.PRO TIP: You can add thin slices of pepperoni, crumbled bacon, thin sliced onion, even ... PINEAPPLE! Adding pepperoni and extra cheese during the last 2 - 3 minutes prevents it from getting over cooked and hard.1 sprinkle red pepper flakes, 1 pinch garlic powder, 2 tablespoon Mozzarella cheese, green onions
- Slide jazzed up pizza back into the air fryer for an additional 2 to 3 minutes of air fryer time. Remove, slice, and serve!
Notes
- Don't jazz up the pizza with extra cheese until the last 2 - 3 minutes. This way your air fryer pizza won't have hard or overcooked cheese on top. Same goes for the pepperoni.
- Do not defrost frozen pizza. Simply air fry pizza straight from the freezer.
- Pull the air fryer basket out half way through the cook time, usually about 5 to 6 minutes. Check to make sure your air fryer is not cooking too hot or over browning the top.
