It’s a pizza that will help you reach your protein goals and keep you feeling full with fiber. You only need 5 simple ingredients that can all be found at Trader Joe’s.

Ingredients
- Whole Wheat Pita Bread: I love this pita bread because it has 7 g protein and 5 g fiber. Perfect for pita pocket sandwiches as well as an easy pizza crust.
- Tomato Sauce: canned tomato sauce is super convenient.
- Mozzarella Cheese: pizza needs cheese and 1/4 cup adds 8 g protein.
- Fresh Basil: can be optional, but fresh basil elevates pizza. Highly recommend adding it.
- Garlic Herb Chicken Sausage: quick protein source providing 17 g or use Trader Joe’s Chicken Meatballs for 16 g.

- Pesto
How to Make
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F. On an air fryer liner, place pita.

What to Pair with The Easiest Air Fryer Pizza
Salad goes well with pizza to add more fiber and nutrients. I like Trader Joe’s Cruciferous Crunch Collection mix for an easy salad that just needs dressing added. My go-to homemade dressings are a mix of olive oil, white wine vinegar, and lemon juice for a light dressing, and Greek yogurt blended with basil and lemon juice for a creamy, high-protein dressing.
Tips
- Air fryer liners reduce mess and make it easier to place pizza in air fryer and take it out without toppings falling off.
- Air fry for 8 minutes if you want crust slightly crisp. Add time if you like it extra crispy.
