Sugar-free Air Fryer Cottage Cheese Pizza Bowl

1 cup cottage cheese (any fat level; drain if watery)

¼ cup pizza sauce or marinara (choose no sugar added / low sugar)

1 ½ tsp Italian seasoning

¾ tsp garlic powder

4 tbsp grated parmesan

Salt + black pepper, to taste

½ cup shredded mozzarella, divided (¼ cup mixed in, ¼ cup on top)

Optional: Pepperoni slices (choose sugar-free if possible; chop for easier bites)

Optional finish: Crushed red pepper, Fresh basil

Preheat air fryer to 350°F (176°C). Use an air-fryer-safe ramekin/bowl (about 16 oz is ideal).
Optional: Drain cottage cheese a few minutes for a thicker bowl. In a bowl, mix cottage cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, parmesan, and pizza sauce until combined (blend if you want it smooth).
Spoon mixture into the ramekin. Stir in ¼ cup mozzarella. Top with remaining ¼ cup mozzarella + pepperoni (optional).
Air fry 10–15 minutes at 350°F, until hot and melty with lightly browned edges. Rest 1–2 minutes before eating (it’s very hot).
