Air Fryer Pizza Rolls
There is nothing quite like a late-night snack of pizza rolls. They are a perfect bite-sized snack to make when you are craving pizza, but don’t want to eat an entire one! Now, you can skip the frozen pizza rolls at the grocery store and make your own.
How to Make Air Fryer Pizza Rolls
It’s hard to say who actually invented pizza rolls, but I’m sure glad they did! It’s such a fun snack to eat, and kids love them! To make these air fryer pizza rolls, preheat the air fryer to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (The lined baking sheet is to place the pizza rolls before putting them in the air fryer.)
Next, in a small bowl, combine the pizza sauce with garlic and Italian seasoning. Set that aside as you roll out the dough. On a floured work surface, roll out the pizza dough to a 12×12-inch square. Then, cut the large square into 16 smaller squares. Set the small squares onto the lined baking sheet.
After the squares are cut and on the baking sheet, top each square with 1 teaspoon of the following: seasoned pizza sauce, diced pepperoni, and cheese. Wet your finger with water and rub it around the outside edges of the dough square. Fold one corner up to the center of the roll. Then, fold the two corners to the left and right into the center. At this point, the pizza roll should look like an open envelope.
Finally, fold the top corner down, sealing all the ingredients inside. Use your finger or a fork to lightly press and seal each one. Spray the pizza rolls with cooking spray and place them in the basket of an air fryer in a single layer.
Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to work in batches. Air fry for 8 minutes, or until dark golden brown. Remove them from the air fryer and serve hot. Enjoy them plain or dipped in your favorite dipping sauce.
