Why Air Fryer Pizza Rolls Are the Ultimate Snack
Air frying pizza rolls takes this beloved snack to a new dimension. The rapid circulation of hot air crisps the exterior without sacrificing the melty cheese and savory fillings inside, all in a fraction of the time of traditional oven baking. If you love restaurant-style texture but want homemade convenience and customization, these pizza rolls check every box.
Choosing and Prepping Your Pizza Rolls
Ready to start? You can use store-bought frozen pizza rolls or make your own for extra flavor customization. If you’re prepping fillings from scratch—think diced pepperoni, shredded mozzarella, or quick-chopped veggies—a sturdy Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper makes fast work of your prep.
Don’t forget to layer in your favorite pizza sauce and keep fillings evenly distributed to avoid leaks and ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
Air Frying for Maximum Crispiness
Using an air fryer guarantees the crispiest result possible. Arrange your rolls in a single layer in a quality COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt, spaced apart so air can circulate. For an extra-crunchy finish and easy cleanup, line the basket with a square of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll or a purpose-made Air Fryer Paper Liner. A light spray of oil before cooking will help the crust reach golden perfection.
How to Serve Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls
Don’t stop at classic marinara! Serve your pizza rolls with an array of dipping sauces like ranch, creamy garlic, or spicy sriracha ketchup. Toss a green salad in a handy Bentgo Salad Container for a refreshing side and a complete snack plate. To keep things casual for gatherings, lay out a Pureegg Plastic Table Cloth Disposable 10 Pack, White so everyone can dig in worry-free.
Nutritional Information & Yield
A single batch (about 24 pizza rolls, depending on the brand or your homemade recipe) typically provides 3–4 servings. Each serving contains around 200–300 calories, with less fat than oil-fried versions, thanks to the air fryer’s efficient cooking method.
