Fresh Margherita Pizza
The sky’s the limit for topping an AirFry pizza. We chose to keep this
one simple with fresh tomatoes and basil – classic and delicious.
Makes 1 pizza, about 8 servings
Nonstick cooking spray
1
tablespoon (15 ml) extra virgin olive oil, divided
12
ounces (340 g) pizza dough, room temperature
10
ounces (295 g) grape tomatoes, about 1 pint, halved
1
small garlic clove, crushed
¼
teaspoon (1 ml) kosher salt
3
ounces (85 g) mozzarella, shredded
1
tablespoon (15 ml) grated Parmesan
2 to 3 fresh basil leaves, torn
1. Spray the Baking Pan with nonstick cooking spray and then brush
with a layer of olive oil. Roll or stretch the pizza dough to fit the pan.
Brush the pizza dough about 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of olive oil and place
into the oven. Set to Convection Bake at 450°F (230°C) and bake for
about 8 to 10 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
2. While the pizza is baking, toss the halved grape tomatoes together
with the remaining oil, crushed garlic clove and salt.
3. Remove the pizza from the oven and top with the cheese and grape
tomatoes evenly in the center, leaving an even border for the crust.
4. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, until
brown and bubbly.
5. Scatter with the fresh basil and serve immediately.

Crunchy Sesame Tuna
This tuna works well over fresh salad greens tossed with
the Asian-Style Frizzled Green Beans, page 29.
Makes 2 to 3 servings
Nonstick cooking spray
¼
cup (60 ml) panko breadcrumbs
1
tablespoon (15 ml) plus 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vegetable oil
½
pound (227 g) sushi-grade tuna (1¼ inches [3 cm] thick)
½
teaspoon (2.5 cm) kosher salt
1
teaspoon (5 ml) sesame seeds
Soy sauce and dark sesame oil for drizzling
1. Line the Baking Pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Toss the panko with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of oil and spread evenly
onto the prepared baking pan.
3. Place in oven in the upper rack position. Set to AirFry at 350°F
(180°C) for about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and toss together,
reserve.
4. Discard the foil and place the Grill/Griddle Plate onto the Baking
Pan, Griddle side up and return to the oven in the lower rack
position. Set to Grill at 450°F (230°C) and allow to preheat for at
least 10 minutes.
5. While preheating, season the tuna with the salt evenly on both sides
and lightly coat both sides with the sesame seeds.
6. Once preheated, place the tuna onto the griddle. Cook until medium
rare, for about 3 minutes per side.
7. Remove from oven and cut into 1/4-inch (0.6 cm) slices across the
grain of the fish. Serve drizzled with some soy sauce and sesame oil
if desired and sprinkled liberally with the reserved panko crunchies.
