Notes
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Always preheat your air fryer for a few minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent the pizza from sticking to the basket.
- Use Parchment Paper: Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper to prevent the pizza from sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Cook one pizza at a time if your naan is big or, if your air fryer is large enough, leave enough space between pizzas to ensure even cooking.
- Oil the Naan: Lightly brush the naan bread with a little oil or ghee before adding your toppings. This will help it crisp up nicely.
- Layering: Start by adding a thin layer of pizza sauce or marinara to the naan bread, followed by your marinated paneer cubes, vegetables, and cheese. Be mindful not to overload the pizza with toppings, as it can affect the cooking process.
