Ingredients

2 frozen french bread pizzas
fresh basil for garnish; optional

Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 375°F.
Wrap the air fryer rack in foil, leaving the sides open for grasping with tongs. Be sure to fold the foil under the ends of the rack to ensure it doesn't fly up into the heating element of the air fryer.
Remove 2 frozen french bread pizzas from the packaging and rearrange toppings as needed so they are evenly distributed on top of the pizza.
Carefully place frozen pizzas into the air fryer basket side by side, and place the foil wrapped rack over the pizzas. Two pizzas should fit between the legs of the rack.
Air fry 12 minutes. Halfway through air frying, use tongs to remove the rack. Tip: If your air fryer does not have a turn reminder, be sure to set a timer and remove the rack after 6 minutes.
Carefully remove pizza from the air fryer using tongs. Garnish with some fresh basil if you like, then serve and enjoy!

Notes

Please note: Nutrition values are for Mama Cozzi's French Bread Pizza, which is the brand we used. For accurate nutrition, check the packaging of your frozen french bread pizza.
We used Mama Cozzi’s Frozen French Bread Pizza from ALDI, but we have also tested this recipe with Stouffers French Bread Pizza as well as Red Baron French Bread Pizza. We enjoy the taste of the Mama Cozzi’s French Bread Pizza from ALDI the best.
Cook from frozen. Do not thaw pizza.
We recommend rearranging the toppings as needed so they are evenly distributed on top of the pizza. Many times the toppings get bunched up in one place on the pizza, so moving them so they are more evenly placed while the pizza is still frozen will ensure you have toppings in every bite.
In our testing of cooking multiple french bread pizzas in the air fryer, we found the toppings tend to fly around and the cheese gets too browned. To solve both of these problems, we wrapped the air fryer rack in foil. This works beautifully!
When wrapping the rack in foil, be sure you don’t bunch the foil up around the sides or the bottom as the cheese could stick to it. Watch our video to see how we wrap the rack.
Preheating the air fryer aids in heating the pizza throughout. It also adds a slight caramelization to the cheese, which is wonderful.
Cook time may vary depending on your specific air fryer model, as all brands vary. As always, use the cook time and temperature as a guide until you are more comfortable with your specific brand of air fryer.
If cooking in multiple batches, be sure to check on the remaining batches early, as they may cook more quickly.
