How to Make Crustless Pizza in an Air Fryer

Cris here.

For a long time readers have been asking us to convert our Crock Pot Crustless Pizza into an air fryer recipe. So, after lots of testing, we finally have our go-to air fryer version and cannot wait to share it with you. (You can also make this in your crock pot or oven with these recipes: Crock Pot Crustless Pizza and Crustless Pizza- Oven Recipe)

Equipment You Need to Make Air Fryer Crustless Pizza

  • Any kind of air fryer. We have tested this recipe in the Ninja Foodi, a traditional air fryer and using the Mealthy CrispLid you can use on an Instant Pot.
  • An air fryer pizza pan or barrel pan. This accessories set has both.
  • If using a Foodi or Instant Pot with Mealthy, you will also need the trivet or air crisp basket that came with your unit to set the pan on. In traditional air fryers just place your pan in the basket.

Here are two ways we make it: Crock Pot Make Ahead Ground Beef or Instant Pot Make Ahead Ground Beef.You can also just brown your ground beef in a skillet (or using the Foodi saute feature) ahead of time if preferred.
  • If your air fryer does not have a 360 setting, 350 will work.

    I’ve been making crustless pizza for over 20 years when I first did Atkins. Mine is easy in toaster oven baking sheet size for toaster oven pizza sauce on bottom toppings on top of sauce then cheeses on top. Bake until cheeses melted and browned slightly. Delicious!!
