Instructions
Prepare the Vegetable Filling
- Heat butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the chopped onion, tomatoes, bell pepper, carrot, and peas. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Season with oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute until most of the moisture has evaporated.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl. Stir in the shredded cheese until well combined. Let the mixture cool completely.
Assemble the Pizza Pockets
- Take each bread slice and trim off the crusts. Use a rolling pin to gently flatten each slice.
- Spoon a generous amount of the cooled vegetable and cheese filling onto the center of each bread slice.
- Moisten the edges of the bread with water. Fold the bread in half to create a pocket, firmly pressing the edges to seal.
- Use a fork to crimp the edges for a tighter seal, if desired.
Air Fry the Pizza Pockets
- Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for 5 minutes.
- Arrange the pizza pockets in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Air fry for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the pockets are golden brown and crispy.
Serve
- Remove the pizza pockets from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Pizza Pockets
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes to the vegetable filling.
- If you don't have an air fryer, you can bake the pizza pockets in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Feel free to experiment with different vegetables and cheeses to create your own unique pizza pocket combinations.
- To prevent soggy pockets, ensure the vegetable filling is completely cooled before assembling the pockets. Slightly over-cooking the filling helps remove excess moisture.
