Good morning from Phoenix! Yesterday was a strange day. I was up at 3:30 am, in Phoenix by 7 am, at a hotel by 9:30 am, and met about a hundred women by the end of the day. I am at a BeautyCounter conference

Step-by-step
- Cut potatoes into fry slices, toss in avocado oil, and sprinkle with salt.
- Place in an air fryer without overcrowding the basket (I had to cook my potatoes in 2 batches) and cook at 390 degrees F for 15-18 minutes, tossing every 4-5 minutes, until potatoes are crispy.
- While the potatoes are cooking, add Italian sausage to a large non-stick skillet and break into pieces, cooking until browned and no pink remains. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add pepperoni to the pan and cook pepperoni 1-2 minutes per side.
- Heat up pizza sauce and dairy-free cheese in a saute pan or in the microwave until warm.
- Once the potatoes are done cooking, top with pizza sauce, Italian sausage, dairy-free cheese, pepperoni, parsley, and red pepper flakes.
- Enjoy!
