Ingredients

• 1 frozen Vital Pursuit High Protein Personal Pepperoni Pizza (do not thaw)

• Optional toppings: red pepper flakes, grated Parmesan, chopped basil

• Optional side: side salad, roasted veggies, or a small bowl of tomato soup

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 380°F for 3–5 minutes. This helps ensure a crispy crust right from the start.

Prepare the Pizza

• Remove the pizza from all packaging, including any plastic wrap and cardboard tray.

• No need to add oil or extra foil—just place it directly in the air fryer basket.

Air Fry

• Cook at 380°F for 6–8 minutes.

• Check at the 6-minute mark. The crust should be crisp and firm, and the cheese should be melted and starting to brown.

• Add 1–2 minutes if needed, depending on the thickness of your air fryer basket and the desired crispiness.

Check for Doneness

• Cheese should be bubbling and golden.

• Pepperoni edges should be slightly crisp.

• Bottom of the crust should be browned and firm, not soggy.

• Internal temp should reach at least 165°F. Let cool for 2 minutes before slicing and serving.

Pro Tips

• Use a spatula to lift the pizza to avoid breaking the crust when removing.

• Want extra crunch? Add 1 more minute at the end for a toastier finish.

• Love spice? Add jalapeños or chili oil before serving.

Serving Ideas

• Top it off with:

  • A drizzle of balsamic glaze

  • Fresh arugula for contrast

  • Cracked black pepper

• Pair it with:

  • A side Caesar salad

  • Zucchini fries

  • Garlic roasted mushrooms

Storage & Reheating

Storage

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. (Though it’s usually a one-and-done meal!)

Reheating

• Air Fryer: Reheat at 350°F for 2–3 minutes

• Microwave: 45–60 seconds, but crust may soften

• Oven: Bake at 375°F for 6–8 minutes
