Discover this easy flourless air fryer pizza made with chickpeas and cottage cheese. A crispy, high-protein, gluten-free crust ready in under 20 minutes!
Ingredients
- 150 grams cooked chickpeas
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp cottage cheeese
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt
- salt to taste
- dried oregano to taste
- cooking oil
- 2-3 tbsp tomato sauce
- shredded mozzarella
- turkey ham
Instructions
- Blend the Batter: Add the cooked chickpeas, egg, cottage cheese, salt, oregano, and garlic salt into a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend on medium-high until you achieve a thick, smooth, and lump-free batter
- Shape the Crust: Place an air fryer-safe silicone liner, small round pan, or perforated parchment sheet on your counter. Lightly brush the surface with olive oil to prevent sticking. Pour the mixture onto the surface and use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it into an even circle (aim for a thickness of about 4 to 5 mm / 0.2 inches).
- First Bake (Setting the Crust): Transfer the shaped crust into the preheated air fryer basket. Cook for 12 minutes at 190°C (375°F). The crust should be firm to the touch with lightly golden edges.
- Assemble the Toppings: Carefully slide out the air fryer basket. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the cooked crust, layer with your shredded cheese, and top with the turkey ham and any extra toppings.
- Final Melt & Crisp: Return the pizza to the air fryer at 190°C (375°F) for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling, fully melted, and slightly browned on top. Remove carefully, finish with a pinch of dried oregano, and serve warm.
