Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls

  • Diet: Gluten Free (if using gluten-free dough)

Description

Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls are quick and easy bite-sized snacks combining gooey mozzarella, savory marinara sauce, and classic pizza toppings wrapped in a thin, crispy dough. Perfectly cooked in the air fryer for less oil and mess, these rolls deliver all the flavors of traditional pizza in a convenient, crunchy treat ideal for any time snack cravings.

Ingredients

Base

  • Pizza Dough: 1 batch (store-bought or homemade)

Fillings

  • Marinara Sauce: 1/2 cup, thinly spread
  • Mozzarella Cheese: 1 cup, freshly shredded
  • Pepperoni or Ham: 1/2 cup, pre-sliced
  • Italian Herbs (Oregano and Basil): 1 tsp combined, pinch for sprinkling

For Cooking

  • Olive Oil: 1 tbsp, for brushing
  • Parmesan Cheese: 2 tbsp, grated (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Dough: Roll the pizza dough out on a floured surface into a large rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. This ensures the crust cooks evenly and crisps nicely in the air fryer.
  2. Add Your Fillings: Spread a thin, even layer of marinara sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese, add pepperoni slices, and finish with a pinch of Italian herbs to enhance flavor.
  3. Roll and Slice: Starting from the long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 1 to 1.5 inch thick slices to form individual pizza rolls ready for air frying.
  4. Air Fry to Perfection: Lightly brush or spray olive oil on each roll to promote crispiness. Arrange the rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket without crowding. Cook at 370°F (188°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve Hot and Enjoy: Remove rolls from the air fryer and optionally sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top. Allow to cool slightly before serving to experience the perfect balance of crispy crust and melty, cheesy filling.

Notes

  • Roll dough thin but not paper-thin for ideal crisp and chewiness.
  • Moderate fillings to avoid soggy rolls; too much sauce or cheese can affect texture.
  • Preheat air fryer to ensure even cooking and speedy crisping.
  • Lightly oil air fryer basket to prevent sticking and assist browning.
  • Flip rolls halfway through cooking for even golden color.
  • Use fresh herbs and quality cheese for best flavor.
