A Healthier Alternative

One of the standout features of these Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls is that they offer a healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried snacks. The air fryer uses significantly less oil, allowing you to enjoy that crispy texture without the added calories and grease. This means you can indulge in your favorite flavors while still making a more health-conscious choice.

By using pre-made pizza dough and fresh ingredients, you can control what goes into your pizza rolls, making it easy to incorporate healthier options like vegetables or lean meats. This recipe allows you to enjoy pizza in a new and exciting way, without the guilt that often comes with fried foods.

Endless Customization Options

One of the best aspects of making your own pizza rolls is the endless customization options available. Start with the base recipe and then get creative! You can experiment with different cheeses, such as cheddar or provolone, or add your favorite vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or onions. The possibilities are truly endless.

For those who enjoy a little heat, consider adding jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes to the filling. Alternatively, you can switch up the protein by using cooked chicken, sausage, or even a plant-based alternative. This flexibility allows you to tailor the recipe to your personal preferences and dietary needs, making it a truly versatile dish.

Instructions

Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, chopped pepperoni, pizza sauce, and Italian seasoning. Mix well.

Roll the Dough

On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle. Cut into squares (about 3x3 inches).

Assemble the Rolls

Place a tablespoon of the filling in the center of each dough square. Fold over to create a triangle and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.

Air Fry the Rolls

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray the rolls with cooking spray and place them in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve

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

Enjoy your deliciously crispy pizza rolls!

Tips for Perfect Pizza Rolls

To ensure your pizza rolls come out perfectly crispy, make sure to preheat your air fryer before placing the rolls inside. This helps create an even cooking environment, resulting in a golden, crunchy exterior. Additionally, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; cooking in batches will help maintain optimal air circulation and ensure each roll is cooked evenly.

It's also helpful to seal the edges of the rolls properly to prevent any filling from leaking out during cooking. Using a fork to crimp the edges not only helps keep the filling inside but also creates a decorative touch that makes them visually appealing.

Serving Suggestions

These Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls are best served hot and fresh out of the air fryer. Pair them with a side of marinara or pizza sauce for dipping to enhance the flavor experience. Consider offering a variety of sauces, such as ranch or garlic butter, to cater to different preferences.

For a complete meal, serve the pizza rolls with a side salad or some vegetable sticks. This adds a refreshing element to the meal and helps balance out the flavors, making for a satisfying dining experience.

Storing and Reheating

If you have leftover pizza rolls, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply pop them back into the air fryer for a few minutes to regain their crispiness. Alternatively, you can use an oven, but be sure to cover them with foil to prevent them from drying out.

For longer storage, consider freezing the assembled but uncooked pizza rolls. Place them on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. When you're ready to enjoy them, cook directly from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time.
