Cooking frozen pizza in an air fryer is a quick and convenient way to enjoy a delicious meal. Here’s how to do it:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Begin by preheating your air fryer to around 200°C (approximately 400°F). This helps to ensure that the pizza cooks evenly.

2. Prepare the Pizza: Remove the frozen pizza from its packaging. If it’s too large to fit in your air fryer basket, you might need to cut it into smaller sections.

3. Loading the Air Fryer: Place the pizza in the air fryer basket. Make sure it’s laid flat and not touching the sides to allow proper air circulation.

4. Cooking Time: Cook the pizza for about 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the crust and your air fryer model. It's advisable to check it halfway through to make any necessary adjustments.

5. Check for Doneness: After the timer goes off, check the pizza. The cheese should be bubbling, and the crust should be golden brown. If it needs a bit more time, simply add an extra couple of minutes.

6. Serving: Once done, carefully remove the pizza (it will be hot!), let it cool for a minute, and then slice it up. Serve with your favourite sides or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Cooking frozen pizza in the air fryer not only saves time but also delivers a wonderfully crispy crust that is hard to resist! Enjoy your homemade treat.
