For the Garlic Toast:

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup pepperoni slices (or your choice of toppings)

Instructions
Prepare the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
Assemble the Garlic Toast Pizzas:
Place the garlic bread slices on a clean surface.
Spread a generous amount of marinara sauce on each slice. Use about 2-3 tablespoons per slice.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Add your desired toppings, such as pepperoni, bell peppers, and olives. Feel free to get creative with your favorite pizza toppings!
Air Fry the Pizzas:
Carefully place the assembled garlic toast pizzas in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
Cook for 6-8 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the garlic bread are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
Serve:
Once cooked, carefully remove the pizzas from the air fryer.
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
Cut into pieces and serve warm.

Variations: Feel free to use different types of bread, like French bread or English muffins, for a fun twist.
Make It Vegetarian: Load up your pizzas with vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini for a healthier option.
