How to Make Flatbread Naan Pizzas in the Air Fryer
- There’s different sizes of flatbreads or naans. Some are small or often sold as 1-2 large. Timing will vary so you just need to add another minute or two of cooking time for larger flatbreads.
- Don’t add too much sauce because it will weigh down the pizza and make it less crispy. A light layer of sauce should be perfect.
- Every air fryer model cooks a little different. You might need add a few more minutes to get the pizza to your preferred texture if you’re cooking in a large oven style or toaster style air fryer.
- After you make your first pizza, you’ll know the best timing for your future batches.
- Add your favorite sauce, toppings and cheese. The possibilities are endless. We love using bbq sauce as a base. If you like white sauce, that’s a great sauce to add too!
- All air fried naan pizza recipe details are in the recipe box below.
- Pro Tip: Use an air fryer rack that fits your air fryer to keep the toppings from flying around. The hot circulating air can blow your cheese and toppings off the pizza. These racks are great to hold the toppings down as they finish cooking
Easy Pizza Appetizer Snacks for Parties
If you’re having a party and need something quick and delicious, these flatbread appetizers are great! Have fun creating a pizza bar and let everyone customize their own pizzas. Lay out your toppings, different sauces and cheeses. Everyone can make their own and you can manage the air fryer and cook the pizzas for them. Or have one person in charge of air frying so that all the pizzas cook the same and won’t burn.
- We suggest cutting the dough into smaller squares so they can be more personal size.
- Pizza Sauce Options: Red pizza sauce, white Alfredo sauce, bbq sauce, pesto, or any sauce that you like.
- Shredded cheese options: Mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, Mexican blend, pepper jack
- Meat Toppings: pepperoni, cooked sausage, cooked bacon, cooked diced ham, cooked leftover or roast chicken
- Vegetable Toppings: sliced mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, jalapeños, pineapple chopped sun dried tomatoes in oil, fresh basil
- You can cook all the crusts first in the air fryer. Then everyone can just add their toppings and air frying time will be much quicker.

4 Comments on “Air Fryer Flatbread Pizzas {Naan}”
Using naan bread was such a neat idea. The pizzas turned out really great. I’m totally making this again and again.
This is a really cool recipe. Love that you could cook pizza on naan in the air fryer.
Not too long ago Naan was a hard find. Today there are many sizes. I use the 4″ mini to make my pizzas. Watching your video really helped while I listen to music by “Sha Naan Naan.”
(Couldn’t help it…)
The kids are always asking me to make this. They are in love with the flatbread pizza recipe.
