Making naan bread pizza in an air fryer is a fantastic idea! It’s quick, easy, and gives you a crispy crust without needing an oven. Here’s a simple recipe to get you started
Ingredients:
- Naan bread (store-bought or homemade)
- Pizza sauce
- Shredded mozzarella cheese (or any cheese of your choice)
- Toppings of your choice (e.g., sliced tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, olives, pepperoni, cooked chicken, etc.)
- Olive oil (optional)
- Italian seasoning or dried herbs (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.
- Prepare the Naan Bread:
- Place the naan bread on a clean surface.
- Optionally, brush the top side with a little olive oil for added crispiness.
- Assemble the Pizza:
- Spread pizza sauce evenly over the naan bread, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the sauce.
- Add your desired toppings evenly over the cheese.
- Air Fry the Pizza:
- Carefully place the assembled naan pizza into the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook one at a time.
- Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the naan bread are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
- Serve:
- Once done, carefully remove the naan bread pizza from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula.
- Optionally, sprinkle some Italian seasoning or dried herbs on top for extra flavor.
- Slice and Enjoy:
- Let the pizza cool for a minute or two, then slice it into wedges or squares.

Tips:
- Customize: Feel free to customize your naan bread pizza with your favorite toppings. It’s a great way to use up leftover veggies or meats.
- Crispiness: For extra crispy crust, you can brush the naan bread with olive oil before adding toppings.
- Timing: Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model and the thickness of your naan bread. Adjust accordingly.
