Air Fryer Pizza Rolls - Crispy, Cheesy, and Fast

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 8 minutes
Total Time 13 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  • For store-bought: Frozen pizza rolls (any brand, any flavor), olive oil spray (optional), and marinara or ranch for dipping.
  • For homemade: Refrigerated pizza dough or egg roll/wonton wrappers
  • Shredded low-moisture mozzarella
  • Mini pepperoni or finely diced regular pepperoni
  • Pizza sauce (thick style is best)
  • Italian seasoning or dried oregano
  • Garlic powder
  • Olive oil or cooking spray
  • Optional: diced bell pepper, cooked sausage, mushrooms (finely chopped), red pepper flakes
  • Optional dips: marinara, garlic butter, pesto, ranch

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer: Set to 380°F (193°C) for 3 minutes. A warm basket helps crisp the rolls evenly.
  • For frozen pizza rolls: Place them in a single layer in the basket. Lightly spritz with oil for an extra-crispy finish. Air fry 6–8 minutes, shaking once halfway. Cook until the edges are golden and you see slight bubbling.
  • For homemade with pizza dough: Roll out dough slightly thinner than usual. Cut into 2–3 inch squares. Add a small spoon of sauce, a pinch of mozzarella, and a few mini pepperoni. Don’t overfill.
  • Seal tightly: Fold dough over to make a little pouch. Pinch seams and crimp with a fork. Brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
  • Air fry homemade: Arrange in a single layer. Cook at 370–380°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping once. They’re done when puffed and golden with a faint sizzle.
  • For wonton/egg roll wrappers: Place filling in the center, wet edges with water, fold, and seal firmly. Spritz with oil and air fry 360–370°F for 6–8 minutes until crisp.
  • Rest briefly: Let rolls sit 2 minutes before biting. The filling is lava-hot and settles as it cools.
  • Serve: Plate with warm marinara, ranch, or garlic butter. Finish with a dusting of grated Parmesan if you like.
