Method
- 1
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F for 2 minutes.
- 2
Spread 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce evenly over each naan, leaving a small border around the edges.
- 3
Top each naan with mozzarella cheese, bell peppers, and red onion slices.
- 4
Place one naan pizza in the air fryer basket and cook for 5-6 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly with golden edges.
- 5
Repeat with the second naan pizza, then top both with fresh basil, a drizzle of olive oil, and red pepper flakes.
Pro tip. Don't overload the naan with sauce or the center will stay soggy. For extra crispiness on the bottom, lightly brush the underside of the naan with olive oil before adding toppings.
Why the air fryer wins here
- Ready in 8 minutes. The same dish takes about 13 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
- Fast-moving hot air browns the outside before the inside dries out, so you get color without babysitting.
- Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.
