Air frying tips
- You do not need to preheat the air fryer.
- Pepperoni is notorious for flying around in the air fryer. To prevent this, you can add it right after the sauce and cover with mozzarella cheese. Alternately, place the pizza in the air fryer with all topping except the pepperoni. Let the cheese melt slightly then add the pepperoni using the melted cheese as glue.
