How To Make Cheat’s Veggie Pizza
- Preheat the air fryer to 200 °C. Put each flatbread into the air fryer for 1 minute, then remove and set aside.
- While the flatbreads are cooking, place the brinjal, courgettes, garlic, Italian herbs and oil into a bowl and toss to coat. Put the vegetables into the air fryer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time.
- Add the tomatoes and cook for a further 5 minutes or until cooked. Remove from the air fryer and set aside. Wipe the air-fryer tray clean.
- Spread the browned side of each flatbread with a layer of pesto and sprinkle each one with a little of the mozzarella.
- Top with the cooked vegetables and artichokes, if using. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cover with the remaining mozzarella.
- Cook each flatbread separately in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden. Top with fresh basil or oregano and serve hot.
