This Air Fryer Pizza Toast is a quick recipe and is perfect for school lunches or an after-school snack for kids.
After enjoying garlic bread in the air fryer, this Pizza Toast in an Air Fryer was a super hit in the family. It is a super easy way to use up the leftover bread slices without having to make an elaborate dough pizza.
It’s perfect for busy days when you want a tasty snack or a light meal in just a few minutes. All you need is some bread, your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings. Pop it in an air fryer for unbelievably crispy toast that tastes just like the classic pizza.
I have used homemade pizza sauce using a very easy recipe: Melt some butter in a small pan with chopped or grated garlic. Heat till it's bubbly. In a bowl, add tomato ketchup, dried oregano, and the melted garlic butter, and Bingo- the easiest pizza sauce is ready.
This recipe is great for experimenting with different toppings, and it’s also a fun way to get kids involved in making their own little pizzas.
Enjoy this amazing Pizza Toasties with green cilantro dip or cucumber salad!

How To Make Pizza Toast In Air Fryer
Step 1. Wash and Prep Veggies
Wash and cut veggies. Grate Mozzarella cheese. I also made quick pizza sauce - heat butter, add chopped garlic, and switch off the flame when the butter is bubbly. Add it to tomato ketchup and dried oregano. Mix it well.
While you prep, you may preheat the air fryer at 180°C for 8 minutes.
Step 2. Prep Bread Slices With Pizza Toppings
Lay out your bread slices. Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese directly onto each bread slice, followed by basil, pizza sauce, onion, and tomato. Another layer of cheese and sauce as you like it.
You may choose to air fryer bread slice from one side first and then layer it on the toasted side and air fryer it again. I didn't do that as I was okay with just the base being crusty.
Step 3. Air Fry the Toast
Place the prepared pizza toast in the air fryer basket. Cook at 180°C for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the bread is crispy. Depending upon the size of the air fryer, you may have to make pizza toast in batches. Just be careful after the first batch as the air fryer quickly melts the cheese.
Step 6. Serve It
Serve the fried Pizza Toast with garlic dip or a fresh apple salad.
Expert Tips
- The toppings won't be very soft and are a bit crunchy. If you like cooked toppings, you may pre-cook them while roasting garlic in butter.
- You may choose to air fry bread slice from on side first where the toppings are added for an extra crusty bite.
- Be watchful after the first batch of air frying as the bread gets crispy and browned very fast.
