Healthier Alternative to Deep-Fried Snacks

One of the biggest advantages of making pizza rolls in an air fryer is that they offer a healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried snacks. By using minimal oil and cooking them in an air fryer, you significantly reduce the fat content while still achieving that satisfying crunch. This means you can indulge in your favorite snacks without the guilt.

Moreover, air frying preserves the flavors and textures of the ingredients without the need for excessive oil. You get to enjoy all the deliciousness of pizza rolls with fewer calories, making them a smart choice for those who are health-conscious but still want to enjoy flavorful treats.

Tips for Perfectly Cooked Pizza Rolls

To achieve the perfect crispy exterior, it's essential to preheat your air fryer before cooking. This step ensures that the heat circulates evenly around the rolls, resulting in that delightful crunch. Additionally, flipping the rolls halfway through the cooking process helps achieve uniform browning and prevents them from sticking together.

Another great tip is to experiment with different seasonings and sauces. While Italian seasoning adds a classic touch, feel free to get adventurous with garlic powder, crushed red pepper, or even a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for added flavor. Pairing your pizza rolls with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ranch, marinara, or garlic aioli, can also elevate your snacking experience.

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup pepperoni slices, chopped
¼ cup pizza sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Cooking spray

Instructions

Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, mix together the mozzarella cheese, chopped pepperoni, pizza sauce, and Italian seasoning until well combined.

Assemble the Rolls

Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling into the center of the wrapper. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly, sealing the edges with a bit of water.

Air Fry the Rolls

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the rolls in the basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd.

Spray the tops of the rolls with more cooking spray.

Cook

Cook the rolls for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Serve

Remove the pizza rolls from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Serve with additional pizza sauce for dipping.

Enjoy your homemade crispy pizza rolls!

Storage and Reheating

If you have leftover pizza rolls, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. When you're ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat them in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes. This method will help restore their crispy texture, making them almost as good as freshly made.

For longer storage, you can freeze uncooked pizza rolls. Just assemble them, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, and then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. When you're in the mood for a snack, you can cook them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Serving Suggestions

Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls are delicious on their own, but serving them with a side of your favorite dipping sauces can take them to the next level. Classic pizza sauce is a must, but consider adding options like spicy marinara, creamy ranch, or tangy buffalo sauce for a fun twist. These complementary flavors will enhance your snacking experience.

For a complete meal, serve your pizza rolls alongside a fresh salad or some steamed vegetables. This adds a healthy balance to your meal while keeping it deliciously satisfying. Don't hesitate to get creative with your accompaniments, as they can make your pizza roll experience even more enjoyable.
