Customization at Its Best

One of the best features of these air fryer pizza rolls is their incredible customization potential. You can easily tailor the filling to suit your tastes or dietary preferences. Swap out pepperoni for veggies or grilled chicken, or try different types of cheese like cheddar or pepper jack for an added kick. The possibilities are endless!

Consider experimenting with sauces as well. Instead of the classic pizza sauce, why not try barbecue sauce, pesto, or even a spicy buffalo sauce? This flexibility not only caters to different palates but also makes it fun to create a variety of rolls that can be enjoyed all week long.

A Healthier Alternative

Cooking these pizza rolls in an air fryer is a healthier alternative to traditional frying. By using less oil, you can still achieve that desired crunch without the added calories and fat. This method allows you to indulge in your favorite snacks without compromising on your health goals, making it a win-win situation.

Moreover, air frying is known for retaining nutrients in food better than other cooking methods. By choosing fresh ingredients like vegetables, lean meats, and whole grain wrappers, you can make these rolls not only tasty but also a more nutritious option for you and your family.

Instructions

Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, and Italian seasoning. Mix well.

Assemble the Rolls

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Place 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly.

Seal the edges with a little water.

Air Fry the Rolls

Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Lightly spray the rolls with cooking spray. Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Serve

Remove from the air fryer and let cool for a minute. Serve with pizza sauce for dipping.

Enjoy your crispy pizza rolls!

Tips for Perfect Pizza Rolls

To achieve the ultimate crunch, be sure to preheat your air fryer before adding the pizza rolls. This step ensures that they cook evenly and achieve that golden-brown finish that everyone loves. Additionally, don’t overcrowd the basket; cooking in batches allows for better air circulation, which is key to crispiness.

When sealing the rolls, use a little water on your fingers to help the edges stick together. This prevents any filling from oozing out during cooking, ensuring that each roll is perfectly sealed and packed with flavor.

Serving Suggestions

These crispy pizza rolls pair wonderfully with a variety of dipping sauces. While classic pizza sauce is a favorite, consider offering options like ranch dressing, garlic aioli, or even a spicy marinara for an adventurous twist. This allows guests to choose their flavor experience and adds to the fun.

For a complete meal, serve the pizza rolls alongside a fresh salad or vegetable platter. This not only balances the richness of the rolls but also adds color and nutrition to your table, making it a more satisfying dining experience.

Storage and Reheating

If you find yourself with leftovers, don’t worry! These pizza rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For the best tasting experience, reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore their crispiness. Avoid using the microwave, as this can make them soggy.

You can also freeze these pizza rolls before cooking. Lay them out on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer them to a freezer bag. This way, you can enjoy fresh, crispy pizza rolls anytime you have a craving. Just add a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time when air frying from frozen.
