Ingredients- 1 Keto Coconut Tortilla
- 4 Tbsp Basil Tomato Pasta Sauce
- 70g Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
- 4g Fresh Basil leaves
- 1 spray Olive Oil Spray
- A little Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
For the sauce, we’re using a convenient store-bought basil tomato pasta sauce. Opt for an organic version if possible. This sauce already contains a blend of herbs and spices, so there’s no need to cook it separately, making your pizza preparation much quicker.
Step 2
Prepare the fresh mozzarella cheese by slicing it into bite-sized pieces. You can cut it into cubes or irregular shapes, depending on your preference. Slicing it slightly thicker will help it melt beautifully without running off the pizza.
Step 3
Finely chop the fresh basil leaves. Stack several leaves on top of each other and then thinly slice them with a knife. This ensures the fragrant basil flavor is evenly distributed across your pizza.
Step 4
Place the keto coconut tortilla on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or directly in your air fryer basket. Spread the basil tomato pasta sauce evenly over the tortilla, leaving about a 1.5 cm border around the edge. This prevents the sauce from burning or spilling over during cooking.
Step 5
Generously arrange the sliced fresh mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Transfer to an air fryer preheated to 180°C (350°F) and cook for approximately 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tortilla edges are lightly golden and crisp. (If using an oven, bake at 200°C/400°F for 5-7 minutes).
Step 6
Once the pizza is beautifully baked, carefully remove it from the air fryer. Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil evenly over the melted cheese. Finish with a light spray of olive oil for added flavor and a lovely sheen.
Step 7
Finally, grate a little Parmigiano Reggiano cheese over the top for an extra layer of savory flavor. Your delicious Margherita Tortilla Pizza is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve immediately while warm for the best texture and taste.
