Pizza Rolls
- Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade) – enough to cut into 3×3 inch squares
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup pepperoni slices
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Pinch of salt
- Olive oil spray, for air fryer basket
For Serving
- Marinara sauce, for dipping
- Gather ingredients: Collect all required ingredients ensuring the dough is ready for use, either brought to room temperature or freshly rolled out.
- Prepare the dough: Let store-bought dough rest at room temperature for 20 minutes to soften or roll out homemade dough on a clean surface for easy handling.
- Cut the dough: Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into 3×3 inch squares for uniform rolls.
- Fill the squares: Place a small amount of shredded mozzarella, a few pepperoni slices, a pinch of Italian seasoning, and salt in the center of each square.
- Seal the rolls: Fold each dough square over the filling and carefully crimp the edges to seal tightly and prevent filling from spilling out during cooking.
- Preheat air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking and arrange the pizza rolls in a single layer without overcrowding.
- Cook the pizza rolls: Air fry the pizza rolls for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure all sides crisp evenly.
- Cool and serve: Remove the pizza rolls from the basket and let them cool slightly for a few minutes before serving warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure edges are well sealed to prevent cheese from leaking during air frying.
- You can substitute pepperoni with other fillings like sausage, vegetables, or different cheeses.
- Adjust cooking time slightly depending on your air fryer model and size of rolls.
- For extra crispiness, spray top of rolls with olive oil before cooking.
- Store leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer to maintain crisp texture.
