Ingredients

½ loaf of French or Italian bread
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cups easy pasta sauce homemade or your favorite brand
10-12 pepperoni slices OPTIONAL
1 teaspoon fresh Italian parsley chopped small

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Slice the bread in half lengthwise and then cut each half into 3 pieces, as pictured. If the bread is thicker than about 1-inch, press down on each piece until it’s closer to that thickness.
Combine the olive oil and Italian seasonings in a small bowl. Brush the sliced portion of each piece with the olive oil mixture. Sprinkle each slice with salt.
Top the bread with half of the cheese and place in the air fryer. Cook for 4-5 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
While the cheese is melting, warm the sauce in the microwave or on the stovetop. Remove the bread from the air fryer and spread the sauce evenly over the bread. Top with the remaining cheese and layer pepperoni over the cheese, if desired.
Return to the air fryer until the cheese has melted and the sauce is bubbling, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from the air fryer and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
