Instructions
  1. Split the 6 English muffins in half (12 halves). Arrange the halves in a single layer in the air fryer basket with the cut sides facing up.
  2. Air fry at 400°F for 3 minutes to lightly toast the cut sides.
  3. Remove the toasted muffin halves. Spread ½ cup pizza sauce evenly across the 12 halves, sprinkle 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, and distribute 4 ounces mini pepperoni on top.
  4. Return the topped muffins to the air fryer in a single layer and cook at 400°F for 4 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese is melted.
  5. If your air fryer cannot hold all halves in a single layer, work in smaller batches and repeat steps 2–4 as needed.

Notes

Tips
FRIDGE
: Place leftover mini pizzas into an airtight container or Ziploc bag and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the microwave or oven until warmed through. You can also use your toaster oven to reheat!
FREEZER
: Want an easy freezer friendly meal? Do the first step of air frying the muffins, then build each pizza and don’t air fry them the second time. Then, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to a month. When ready to eat, just unwrap and pop into the air fryer. You may need to add a few extra minutes. You can freeze leftover fully cooked pizzas the same way!
