Air Fryer Pita Margherita Pizza
With fresh mozzarella, slices of tomato, and marinara sauce on pita bread, this Air Fryer Margherita Pita Pizza recipe makes a quick and easy lunch or dinner. Ready in just 10 minutes!
Servings: 4 pizzas
Ingredients
- 4 pita rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 2 small cloves garlic , minced
- 6 ounce fresh ball mozzarella cheese , sliced thin
- 2 small ripe Roma tomatoes , sliced
- 3 large basil leaves , rolled and sliced into ribbons
- 1/4 cup fresh shaved Parmesan cheese
- freshly ground black pepper
- Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- With a pastry brush spread olive oil onto the pita bread, then spread marinara sauce evenly between the pita rounds, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Sprinkle the garlic over the sauce. Top with the mozzarella slices and then the tomatoes, leaving gaps in between.
- Transfer 1 pita to the air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 380F until the cheese is melted and golden and the pita is crisp, 4 to 5 minutes (adjust time, if needed to prevent the pita from over-browning.)
- Right out of the air fryer, sprinkle the basil and Parmesan shavings over the top, along with 1 to 2 grinds of fresh cracked black pepper and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
- Repeat with the remaining 3 pita rounds.
- Cut into wedges and serve.
Notes
Don’t overcook. Because the pita bread is already cooked, these pizzas only take a few minutes to cook in the air fryer. Watch that first one carefully and adjust the time and temperature with the remaining 3, if necessary. All air fryers are different.
