A pita makes a brilliant quick pizza base, and the air fryer crisps it in minutes. Top it Greek-style with tomato, feta, olives and oregano for a fresh twist on pizza night. Here's how.
Key takeaways
Q: How do you make pita pizza in an air fryer?
A: Top a pita with sauce and toppings and air fry at 180°C (360°F) for 6–8 minutes, until the base is crisp and the cheese melts.
Q: How do you stop it going soggy?
A: Go easy on the sauce, and crisp the bare pita for a minute first if you like.
The method
Spread a thin layer of tomato or passata over a pita — not too much, or the base goes soft. Scatter with mozzarella and crumbled feta, halved cherry tomatoes, olives, red onion and oregano. Air fry until the base is crisp and the cheese is bubbling. Finish with fresh herbs and a drizzle of oil.
