So simple that microwavable pizza bites will be left in the dust

CARSON HOLLAND, Evergreen columnist

Another week, another few hours on TikTok procrastinating from work and homework. Of course, most of my feed is now filled with food and recipes which always make me famished after watching. Many of those recipes are complicated with expensive ingredients that on my college budget, might have to wait for a bit. But in the midst of those, there are a few easy recipes!

Today is one such recipe, as all you need are a few ingredients and an air fryer and you come out with some delicious mini-pizza bites. Move aside microwave pizza bites, this easy DIY variety is more delicious and more filling.  

Not only is this recipe incredibly simple, but you can do it almost anywhere so long as you have an air fryer. Whether in the dorms, your apartment or your morning lecture you can make this tasty treat that is sure to turn some heads with the smell alone. 

If the recipe only tasted good and was simple I would still recommend it but the ingredients are also quite cheap for what is a great product. With simple but customizable ingredients it is like you are making a personal pizza, but one that you could fit into your hands or on the go.

None of the ingredients will break the bank and it is incredibly easy to increase or decrease the number of pizza bites with this recipe. Personally, I would keep making this recipe if my roommate was not getting tired of the smell of fresh baked biscuits and pepperoni. 

In the meantime, you can enjoy this recipe and treat yourself and your roommate to a delicious meal after a long day of procrastinating homework. 

Hope you enjoy it!
