How to Make Air Fryer Pizza Rolls

Ingredients:

1 tube (13.8 ounces) pizza dough, thinly rolled out and cut into 16 squares
¾ cup pizza sauce
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ cup pepperoni, diced
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Cooking spray

Directions:

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together pizza sauce, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Set this aside for later.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Roll out the pizza dough into a square measuring 12×12 inches. Cut the dough into 16 smaller squares and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
On each square, add 1 teaspoon of the seasoned pizza sauce, a teaspoon of diced pepperoni, and a teaspoon of shredded cheese.
To seal the rolls, wet the outside edges of the dough with water (just run a wet finger around all edges). Fold one corner up to the center of the roll.
Next, fold the left and right corners into the center, making it look like an open envelope.
Finally, fold the top corner down to seal all the ingredients inside. You can press it with your fingers or use a fork to ensure it’s sealed well.
Spray the finished pizza rolls with cooking spray and arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches.
Air fry for about 8 minutes, or until they’re dark golden brown. Serve hot with ranch or extra pizza sauce for dipping, if you like!

Tips to Make Air Fryer Pizza Rolls

Don’t overfill the rolls to prevent them from bursting while cooking.
Experiment with different fillings like veggies or different meats for variety.
Make sure to seal the edges well, or they might pop open during cooking.
For extra flavor, sprinkle some grated Parmesan on top before air frying.

How to Serve Air Fryer Pizza Rolls

These pizza rolls are best enjoyed fresh and hot! Serve them as appetizers or snacks at gatherings. They also make a fantastic addition to a game day spread. Pair them with dipping sauces like marinara, ranch, or even a spicy sriracha!

How to Store Air Fryer Pizza Rolls

If you have any leftovers (which is rare!), you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.

Variation

Feel free to customize these pizza rolls to your liking! You can add vegetables like bell peppers and mushrooms, switch up the cheese, or use different meats like sausage or chicken. The possibilities are endless!

FAQs About Air Fryer Pizza Rolls

1. Can I make these pizza rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the rolls in advance and refrigerate them, then air fry them just before serving.

2. What else can I fill the pizza rolls with?
You can fill them with whatever you like—sausage, ham, veggies, or different types of cheeses.

3. Do I need to grease my air fryer basket?
It’s a good idea to spray the basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking, especially if your air fryer isn’t non-stick.
