How The Hidden Veg Sauce Works

Finely grating and then blending the vegetables into the pizza sauce is a really simple way to add extra nutrition without there being lots of visible vegetables which makes it idea for fussy eaters.

How To Make Airfryer Pizza Toast

The full recipe with all measurements etc is in the recipe card towards the end of this blog post but I've also included some step by step images here that might be helpful.

1. Add two slices of bread to airfryer, spray both sides with oil and airfryer for a minute or two on either side.

2. Finely grate carrot and courgette and chop the red pepper into small pieces.

3. Mix the veggies with pizza sauce.

4. Add this to the top of the bread.

Then finally add grated cheddar cheese on top.

Note - press the grated cheese down into the sauce, so that it sticks. This will stop the cheese from blowing away in the airfryer!

Airfry for 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Remove and cut each slice into two or four triangles. You can garnish with some fresh basil at the end if you like.

Serve with a little pot of chopped veg like carrot and cucumber on the side.

Which Air Fryer Is The Best?

There's so many different air fryers out there on the market at the moment. Some of the big brand names are expensive but I have been using this Uten 6.5 Litre Air Fryer since last year and I love it.

It's really big, perfect for family sized meals and fits a whole chicken too!

This is one of those easy solutions for picky-eater lunches that hopefully makes busy days feel a little bit easier! If you try it, do let me know in the comments below!
