Saloni Kukreja's Burger Bun Pizza Pockets Are Perfect For Evening Cravings

Pizza cravings can strike anytime, but making a pizza from scratch is not always convenient. Food influencer Saloni Kukreja has an easy solution for those snack-time cravings with her Burger Bun Pizza Pockets. Loaded with saucy vegetables and a gooey mozzarella-cheddar mix, these quick bites can be prepared in an air fryer in just five minutes.

What You Need:

For the filling, take 1/2 cup tomato paste, three chopped garlic cloves, 1/4 diced onion, 1/2 green capsicum, 1/2 red capsicum, 1/2 carrot and 1/4 cup boiled corn. You will also need one teaspoon each of chilli flakes and oregano, along with salt and pepper to taste. Keep 1/2 cup of mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend, burger buns and some butter ready.

Prepare The Sauce:

Start by heating some oil in a pan. Add chopped garlic and onions and sauté until they turn translucent. Next, add chilli flakes and oregano and stir well. Pour in 1/4 cup water along with the tomato paste. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the sauce comes together. Turn off the heat and add the chopped vegetables. Sprinkle a little salt and mix everything properly. Set the prepared filling aside.

Assemble The Pizza Pockets:

Take the burger buns and create a shallow cavity in each one. Add a thin layer of cheese at the bottom before filling the buns with the prepared vegetable mixture. Top generously with more mozzarella and cheddar cheese. This gives the snack its cheesy, pizza-like finish while keeping the burger bun as a quick and convenient base.

Air Fry Until Cheesy:

Brush the burger buns with butter before placing them in the air fryer. Cook them at 190 degrees for around five minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Once ready, remove the pizza pockets carefully and serve them hot.

Saloni Kukreja's easy recipe transforms everyday burger buns into a comforting pizza-inspired snack without the hassle of preparing dough. Quick, cheesy and loaded with vegetables, these Burger Bun Pizza Pockets are an easy option for evening cravings, parties or whenever you want something warm and satisfying.
