Ingredients:
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 egg
- 1 cup / 120 grams shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or your favorite blend)
Optional Toppings:
- Pinch of your favorite seed mix (chia, pumpkin, sunflower)
- Fresh arugula
Instructions:
- Mash it Up! Grab your avocado and a fork. Mash the flesh in a bowl until mostly smooth.
- Combine & Spread: Add the egg and shredded cheese to the mashed avocado. Mix well to create a cohesive dough. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the avocado mixture into a round pizza shape.
- Seed Sprinkle (Optional): Feeling fancy? Sprinkle your favorite seed mix over the top of the avocado crust for an extra crunch and nutritional boost.
- Air Fry Time! Preheat your air fryer to 190°C (375°F). Cook the avocado pizza for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the center is set.
- Cool Down & Enjoy! Let the pizza cool slightly before digging in for a delightful textural contrast between the crispy crust and creamy avocado.
- Arugula Burst (Optional): Top your masterpiece with fresh arugula for a burst of peppery flavor and a touch of green.
Tips:
- Don’t have an air fryer? No problem! Bake the avocado pizza in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the center is set.
- Get creative with your toppings! This recipe is a great base for all sorts of flavor combinations. Try adding chopped tomatoes, roasted vegetables, or even a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
- Leftovers? While not ideal due to the avocado, you can store leftover pizza in the fridge for up to 1 day. Reheat in the air fryer or oven for a few minutes to crisp up the crust.
Enjoy this healthy and delicious air-fried avocado pizza! It’s a fun and flavorful way to enjoy pizza without the guilt.
