This easy air fryer naan pizza can be made with so many toppings. Our caprese pizza with balsamic glaze version is delicious! Air fryer caprese pizza couldn't be easier!

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces naan bread (or small cooked pizza dough rounds)
  • 8 pieces grape tomatoes (or cherry tomatoes)
  • 2 tspn olive oil
  • 1 tspn pesto
  • 1 cup mozzarella, low moisture whole milk freshly shredded
  • 8 pieces basil chiffonade
  • 2 tablespoon balsamic glaze

Instructions

  • Mix extra virgin olive oil and basil pesto together and spread ½ teaspoon onto each piece of naan with a basting brush.
    Brush spreading oil base on naan bread.
  • Slice tomatoes 3-4 times each. Tap to remove excess moisture. Place ¼ cup shredded cheese and as many tomatoes as desired onto each mini pizza.

Notes

  • Brush the basil pesto base onto the naan rather than trying to spread it around with a spoon.
  • Grate your own mozzarella cheese using low moisture mozzarella. Fresh mozzarella is an option but when tested we found it didn’t melt up as nicely as the shredded and needed to cook quite a bit longer in the air fryer.
  • Put the basil on the pizza after it’s cooked. Basil will blow right off the pizzas when cooked in the air fryer or will crisp up too much if broiled in the oven.
