Yes, you can! Preheat the air fryer to 300 degrees F. Cut the sandwiches into individual sections. Place the sliders into the air fryer, in a single layer with a small space between the sandwiches to allow the air to circulate. Air fry for 5 to 8 minutes.

Mom tip
If you have a child like mine, some days pepperoni are good, sometimes not. You can easily leave a small section of the sliders without pepperoni, or just make it extra cheesier for them. Cheese pizza sliders are delicious, too!
