I’ll show you how to make a simple naan pizza with pesto using an oven or air fryer which makes it great for those who don’t have an oven like students in dorm rooms!

I’ll also show you how to make caramelized onions for this naan pizza but if you’re short on time, you can skip the first step and head straight to making the naan pizza or making/preparing the pesto!
