When you're ready to indulge, simply pop them in the air fryer for a quick, crispy snack that feels fresh out of the oven.

Preparing these pizza rolls in advance allows you to enjoy homemade snacks without the hassle of daily cooking.

A Healthier Twist on a Classic

Using an air fryer to make your pizza rolls is a game changer. Unlike traditional frying methods that require large amounts of oil, air frying uses hot air to create a crispy texture with significantly less fat. This means you can enjoy your favorite flavors without the guilt, making these pizza rolls a healthier alternative to deep-fried snacks.

By choosing fresh ingredients and controlling the fillings, you can also tailor the nutritional content to fit your dietary needs. Whether you want to load up on veggies or keep it simple with cheese, the choice is yours. This approach not only makes your snack healthier but also allows you to indulge in a way that aligns with your lifestyle choices.

Ingredients

For the Pizza Rolls

1 package of egg roll wrappers
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup pepperoni slices (or your choice of toppings)
1/2 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Cooking spray

Make sure to have your favorite dipping sauces ready for a complete experience!

Instructions

Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, pepperoni slices, and Italian seasoning. Mix well to combine.

Assemble the Rolls

Take an egg roll wrapper and place a tablespoon of the filling in the center. Moisten the edges with water and roll tightly, sealing the ends.

Air Fry the Rolls

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Spray the basket with cooking spray. Place the rolls in a single layer, making sure they are not touching.

Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray.

Cook

Cook for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Flip halfway through cooking for even crispiness.

Serve

Remove from the air fryer and serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.

Enjoy your homemade crispy pizza rolls!

Tips for the Best Pizza Rolls

To achieve the crispiest pizza rolls, ensure you preheat your air fryer before adding the rolls. This helps to create an immediate crispness on the outside while keeping the inside gooey and delicious. Additionally, avoid overcrowding the basket—cooking in batches allows the hot air to circulate freely, ensuring even cooking.

Experiment with different dipping sauces to elevate your pizza rolls. While marinara is a classic choice, consider ranch dressing, garlic butter, or even a spicy sriracha sauce for a twist. These variations can add a new dimension to your snack experience and impress guests at gatherings.

Storing and Reheating

If you have leftover pizza rolls, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. When you're ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain their crispiness. This method ensures that they taste freshly made, rather than soggy or stale.

For longer storage, consider freezing prepared but uncooked pizza rolls. Spread them out on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag. When you're ready to cook, you can air fry them straight from the freezer, adjusting the cooking time as needed for a perfectly crispy result.

Pairing Suggestions

Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls pair beautifully with a variety of sides. Consider serving them alongside a fresh garden salad or a bowl of soup for a complete meal. The contrast of textures and flavors can make for a delightful dining experience, whether it’s lunch or dinner.

For a fun party platter, include a selection of different pizza rolls alongside a variety of dips. This encourages guests to mix and match, creating a fun and interactive eating experience. It’s a great way to cater to different tastes and preferences while keeping the focus on these delicious snack bites.
