Ingredients
Gather the following ingredients to make your Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls:
Ingredients
- 1 package of egg roll wrappers
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices, chopped
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions
Follow these steps to create your Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls:
Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, chopped pepperoni, pizza sauce, and Italian seasoning. Mix well to combine.
Assemble the Rolls
Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to enclose the filling.
Air Fry the Rolls
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the rolls with cooking spray or brush with oil. Place the rolls in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching.
Serve
Remove the rolls from the air fryer and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Enjoy your crispy pizza rolls fresh out of the air fryer!
Serving Suggestions
These pizza rolls are best served hot and fresh from the air fryer. To elevate the experience, consider offering a variety of dipping sauces on the side. Classic pizza sauce is a favorite, but marinara, ranch dressing, or even a spicy aioli can add an exciting twist to every bite.
For a more gourmet touch, pair your pizza rolls with a fresh salad or a side of roasted vegetables. This not only enhances the meal but also adds a colorful presentation to your table.
Storage Tips
If you have any 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. This method ensures that they taste just as good as when they were freshly made.
For longer storage, consider freezing the assembled but uncooked rolls. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen, then transfer them to a freezer bag. When you’re ready to enjoy, cook them straight from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time for perfectly crispy results.
