Ingredients
- 1 package of pizza dough
- 1 cup of pizza sauce
- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup of pepperoni slices
- Olive oil spray
- Italian seasoning (optional)
Here are the key ingredients you’ll need for these crispy pizza rolls.
Directions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
- Roll out the pizza dough on a clean surface and cut it into small squares.
- On each square, place a small spoonful of pizza sauce, a handful of shredded mozzarella cheese, and a few slices of pepperoni.
- Fold the dough over to create a pocket and pinch the edges to seal securely.
- Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the prepared pizza rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, spray the tops lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning if desired.
- Cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the pizza rolls are golden brown and crispy. For an extra crunch, you can flip them halfway through cooking.
- Carefully remove the rolls from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient substitutions: Feel free to swap out the pepperoni for cooked sausage, vegetables, or even cheese-stuffed options for a different flavor profile.
- Optional variations: Add spices like garlic powder or crushed red pepper for a kick, or experiment with different sauces such as alfredo or pesto for dipping.
- Storage or reheating tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.
