What is Air Fryer Lasagne Naan Pizza?
Air Fryer Lasagne Naan Pizza is a quick, individual pizza made using naan bread as the base and topped with classic lasagne ingredients like bolognese sauce, ricotta or béchamel, mozzarella, and parmesan. It’s cooked in the air fryer for a crispy base and melty topping in minutes.
How long does lasagne naan pizza take in the air fryer?
It usually takes 6–8 minutes at 180°C (360°F), depending on your air fryer and how thick the toppings are. The pizza is ready when the cheese is melted and golden and the naan is crisp.
Can I use leftover lasagne sauce?
Yes, leftover bolognese or meat sauce works perfectly. Just make sure it’s not too watery, as excess moisture can make the naan soggy.
What type of naan is best for naan pizza?
Plain or garlic naan works best. Use mini naan for individual portions or regular naan if it fits your air fryer basket. I just bought my naan bread from Tesco.
Do I need to preheat the air fryer?
Preheating isn’t essential, but preheating for 2–3 minutes can help the naan crisp faster and more evenly.
Can I freeze naan pizza?
It’s best eaten fresh, but you can freeze it uncooked. Freeze on a tray, then wrap well. Air fry from frozen at 180°C for 8–10 minutes.
What cheese works best for lasagne naan pizza?
A combination works best:
- Mozzarella for melt
- Parmesan for flavour
- Ricotta or béchamel for creaminess
Is this recipe kid-friendly?
Yes! Kids love it, and it’s easy to customise with milder sauces or extra cheese.
