🧀 Ingredients You’ll Need
2 How to Make Air Fryer Pizza Rolls

- Pizza sauce
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Pepperoni (or your preferred toppings: mushrooms, olives, cooked sausage, etc.)
- Flour, for rolling the dough
- Non-stick cooking spray
🍕 How to Make Air Fryer Pizza Rolls
1. Prep the Dough
Start by lightly flouring your work surface. Roll out the pizza dough to about 1/4-inch thick. You want it thin enough to crisp up but sturdy enough to hold the filling. Cut the dough into 3-inch squares—perfect for snacking.
2. Add the Fillings
In the center of each square, add a small spoonful of pizza sauce. Then, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce and top it with pepperoni or your favorite toppings. Be careful not to overfill; a little goes a long way.
3. Fold and Seal
Fold each dough square diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges with a fork to seal them—this keeps all that gooey goodness inside while they cook.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. This ensures even cooking and that golden, crispy finish.
5. Cook the Pizza Rolls
Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray. Place the rolls inside in a single layer—don’t overcrowd them! Cook for 8 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
6. Serve with Sauce
Serve the hot pizza rolls immediately with a side of warm pizza sauce or ranch dressing for dipping. Perfect finger food for any occasion!
💡 Tips for the Best Pizza Rolls
- Seal well: Press the edges firmly with a fork to avoid leaking cheese or sauce.
- Customize: Swap pepperoni for cooked mushrooms, olives, jalapeños, or even pineapple for a Hawaiian twist.
