These Air Fryer Pizza Rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer featuring soft pizza dough filled with gooey mozzarella cheese and savory pepperoni, seasoned with Italian herbs and cooked to golden perfection using an air fryer for a crispy outside and melty inside.

Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Rolls

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

For Serving

  • Marinara sauce, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 12×9 inches. This will make it easier to portion and fill the rolls.
  2. Add Filling: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt over the rolled-out dough, leaving about half an inch border around the edges to seal the rolls properly.
  3. Shape the Rolls: Starting from one of the longer edges, tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Once rolled, slice the log into approximately 12 equal-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
  4. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking. Then place the pizza rolls cut side up inside the basket ensuring they are not too crowded to allow even cooking.
  5. Air Fry: Spray the tops of the pizza rolls lightly with olive oil. 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 cooked through, and the cheese is melted inside.
  6. Serve: Carefully remove the pizza rolls from the air fryer and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute pepperoni with other fillings like cooked sausage, vegetables, or different cheeses.
  • Ensure slices are placed evenly and rolled tightly to prevent filling leakage during air frying.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model; keep an eye on the first batch to adjust accordingly.
  • Use a toothpick to test if inside dough is cooked through if unsure.
