This Air Fryer French Bread Pizza is a wicked fast dinner that is ready in under 10 minutes and won’t heat up your house. What could be better? Nothing.

These mini pizzas are so awesome because everyone in the family gets to personalize their own with their favorite toppings. No fighting, no negotiating or bargaining. You get what you want, and so does everyone else!

If you have a favorite pizza topping, go for it! You can make it vegetarian, meat lovers, or start epic social media battles by covering it with pineapple. It’s YOUR PIZZA!

A few homemade suggestions: Homemade Sugar-Free Pizza Sauce, Whole30 Pesto, Sugar-Free BBQ Sauce, crumbled bacon (related: how to bake bacon in the oven), homemade sausage, or even roasted garlic and chopped basil.

For make-ahead options as part of your meal prep, make the pizzas and freeze them unbaked on a plate lined with parchment for three hours. Once frozen, wrap in parchment or foil and then transfer to freezer storage (we love these reusable silicone bags).

You can cook them in the air fryer without thawing. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes depending on how large your slices are.

You can also make this a speedy meal by using frozen peppers and frozen onions.

Pro Tips/Recipe Notes

• Lighter toppings like pepperoni, thinly sliced peppers, and mushrooms do tend to “fly” around the air fryer because of the powerful fan. I find putting them under the cheese works best to keep everything in place.
• You can brush the bread with olive oil and a bit of garlic powder and cook for 2 minutes before adding the toppings if you prefer the base to be a bit crispier.
• Cut bread into smaller pieces to turn these meal-size air fryer pizzas into a fast appetizer.
• This is a recipe where I strongly recommend using air fryer parchment. It helps with the delicious gooey cheese that might fall onto the basket. Don’t have special parchment? No problem! Take a piece of your normal parchment and punch a bunch of holes in it with a chopstick or small knife.
