These Air Fryer Pizza Rolls are a quick and delicious snack or appetizer featuring crispy golden pizza dough stuffed with gooey mozzarella cheese and savory pepperoni, seasoned with Italian herbs and served with marinara sauce for dipping. Perfectly cooked in the air fryer for a healthier alternative to deep frying, they deliver a satisfying crunch with melty cheesy goodness inside.

Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Rolls

  • 1 batch pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, about 12 ounces)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup pepperoni slices
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Pinch of salt
  • Olive oil, for spraying

Dipping Sauce

  • Marinara sauce, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. If using store-bought dough, allow it to come to room temperature for easier handling.
  2. Add Fillings: Sprinkle an even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, followed by pepperoni slices. Season with Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt to enhance flavor.
  3. Roll and Cut: Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, starting from one long edge. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the log into 12 equal pieces, each representing one pizza roll.
  4. Prepare for Air Frying: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the pizza rolls cut-side up in the basket, making sure they don’t touch to allow even air circulation.
  5. Air Fry the Pizza Rolls: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook the rolls for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and puffed, and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
  6. Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the pizza rolls from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes to avoid burning. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Use store-bought pizza dough for convenience or homemade dough for a fresher taste.
  • Feel free to customize fillings with vegetables, different cheeses, or meats as desired.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
  • Allow rolls to cool slightly before eating to prevent burns from hot cheese.
  • Marinara sauce can be warmed for a more comforting dipping experience.
