Looking for a quick and delicious way to enjoy your favorite frozen pizza? Look no further than your air fryer!

The air fryer’s concentrated heat creates a perfectly browned crust and melted cheese, making this a fun and easy weeknight meal or anytime snack.

Ready to try it? Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Banquet Mega Pizza (any variety)
  • Air Fryer
  • Optional: Cooking spray or parchment paper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C). While it preheats, remove the pizza from the box and plastic wrap.
  2. Prepare your air fryer basket. You can lightly coat the basket with cooking spray or place a piece of parchment paper cut to size at the bottom to prevent sticking.
  3. Place the pizza in the air fryer basket. Make sure the pizza lies flat and doesn’t touch the sides or top of the basket.
  4. Air fry for 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on the pizza during cooking. The crust should be golden brown and the cheese melted and bubbly.
  5. Carefully remove the pizza from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips:

  • Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model. Start with 8 minutes and check for doneness.
  • If your air fryer basket is small, you may need to fold the pizza slightly to fit.
  • For an extra crispy crust, preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and cook for 6-8 minutes.
  • You can also add your favorite toppings to the pizza before air frying, such as additional cheese, vegetables, or meats.

FAQs:

  • Can I use a different brand of frozen pizza in the air fryer? Absolutely! This recipe will work for most frozen pizzas. Just adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the crust and your desired level of crispiness.
  • Do I need to defrost the pizza before air frying? No, you can cook the pizza frozen straight from the freezer.
  • My pizza isn’t cooking evenly. What should I do? This could be due to the size or shape of your air fryer basket. Try rotating the pizza halfway through cooking.

Enjoy your delicious air-fried Banquet Mega Pizza!
