Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 slices leftover pizza
  • oil spray (optional, to lightly coat the pizza so toppings don't dry out)
  • aluminum foil or perforated parchment paper (for lining)
  • air fryer
  • tongs (for handling hot pizza)
  • serving plate

Method
 

  1. Line your air fryer basket, rack, or tray with aluminum foil or perforated parchment paper.
  2. Place 1-2 slices of leftover pizza on the lined surface. If desired, lightly spray the top of the pizza with oil to prevent toppings from drying out.
  3. Air fry at 360°F (180°C) for 3-6 minutes. Start with 3 minutes and check for desired crispness and melted cheese. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes if you prefer a crispier crust.
  4. Carefully remove the hot pizza with tongs and let it cool for a moment before serving on a plate. Enjoy your perfectly reheated, crispy pizza!

Notes

- For an extra crispy bottom, preheat your air fryer for 2-3 minutes before adding the pizza.
- If your pizza is very greasy, place a small piece of paper towel under the foil to absorb excess oil.
- To ensure even cooking and prevent dry spots, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Reheat one or two slices at a time, depending on their size and your air fryer's capacity.
- For storage, wrap leftover pizza tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before refrigerating for up to 3-4 days. While this recipe is for immediate reheating, proper storage ensures quality.
