Why Cooking Pizza in the Air Fryer is Better
The air fryer has been trending for a while now, but it’s not just the latest and greatest kitchen gadget. It cooks your food in a more healthy way than traditional ovens. Air frying uses less oil, making the food crispier and healthier because there is no added fat to create that delicious crunchy crust.
And when you use an air fryer to make pizza dough or pizza sauce, you’re also using less oil since those ingredients are typically baked on parchment paper. This air fryer garlic toast pizza recipe goes from the air fryer to the table in just minutes. Pizza night will never be the same again!
