Air Fryer Halloween Pumpkin Pizzas
- Cook Time: 23 minutes
- Total Time: 23 minutes
- Diet: Vegetarian
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough (or pre-made mini crusts)
- 1/2 cup marinara or pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (for the orange color)
- 1 can sliced black olives
- 1 small green bell pepper (cut into small rectangles for stems)
- 1/4 cup mini pepperoni (optional for decorating)
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Unroll the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Use a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter or a knife to cut the dough into 4 to 6 pumpkin shapes. If you don’t have a cutter, simply cut circles and pinch a small “stem” shape at the top of each one.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Place the dough shapes in the basket, making sure they do not overlap. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes. This ensures the crust stays crispy even after adding the sauce.
- Carefully remove the basket. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over each pumpkin, leaving a small border for the “crust.” Cover the sauce generously with the shredded orange cheddar cheese to give the pizzas their pumpkin color.
- Use the black olive slices to create triangle eyes and a jagged mouth like a jack-o’-lantern. Place a small piece of green bell pepper at the top of each pizza to serve as the pumpkin stem. You can also use mini pepperoni to add more “spooky” features if desired.
- Place the decorated pizzas back into the air fryer. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges of the crust are golden brown. Serve immediately while warm.
