Deliciously crispy and cheesy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls, perfect as a quick snack or appetizer. Made with gooey mozzarella, spicy pepperoni, and seasoned with Italian herbs, these bite-sized treats are oven-fried to perfection in the air fryer for a healthier alternative to traditional fried snacks. Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Rolls

  • Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade) – enough for about 12 rolls
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup pepperoni slices
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Pinch of salt
  • Olive oil (for spraying)

For Serving

  • Marinara sauce (for dipping) – 1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and set them on your workspace to ensure an organized cooking process.
  2. Prepare Dough: If using store-bought dough, let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes to become pliable. If making homemade dough, roll it out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch on a floured surface.
  3. Cut Dough Squares: Cut the rolled-out dough into 3×3 inch squares, aiming for about 12 pieces depending on dough thickness and size.
  4. Fill the Squares: Place a small handful of shredded mozzarella cheese, a few pepperoni slices, a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt onto the center of each square.
  5. Seal Rolls: Fold the dough over the filling to create a pocket and crimp the edges tightly with your fingers or a fork to prevent leakage during cooking.
  6. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to run for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking temperature.
  7. Prepare for Cooking: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking and arrange the pizza rolls in a single layer without overcrowding, allowing air circulation.
  8. Cook Pizza Rolls: Air fry the rolls for 8-10 minutes, shaking or turning the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness and browning.
  9. Cool and Serve: Once golden and crispy, remove the rolls and let them cool slightly for 3-5 minutes before serving with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overfill the dough squares to prevent filling from leaking during air frying.
  • You can customize the filling with other ingredients like cooked sausage, mushrooms, or veggies.
  • Check the pizza rolls during cooking to prevent over-browning depending on your air fryer model.
  • Use fresh mozzarella for a creamier filling or low-moisture mozzarella for less moisture runoff.
