Frequently Asked Questions
Nope, not for this recipe. Honestly, we’ve found that 99% of the time, preheating your air fryer does not affect how crispy your food gets or how fast it cooks. Of course, every air fryer is different. If your air fryer’s instruction manual recommends preheating, then by all means, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.
To prevent your toppings from flying around in the air fryer, add them after cooking your pizza for 3-4 minutes. Placing your toppings on soft, partially melted cheese helps them stay in place.
