Best Air Fryer Meal: Air Fryer Pizza Rolls Recipe
Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Sharp Knife
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough or 1 can refrigerated pizza dough
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce plus more for dipping
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 2/3 cup pepperoni
Toppings:
- parmesan cheese
- chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Roll the dough out into a 10×14 inch rectangle. (You can use the homemade or store-bought dough for this recipe)
- Brush the surface with olive oil.
- Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough. (Leave about a 1-inch gap around the edges).
- Top with pepperoni and mozzarella.
- Roll the dough into a tight log starting with the long end.
- Place the log seam-side facing down and cut it into 1-inch slices. (You can place the log onto a baking sheet in the refrigerator to chill for about 20 minutes. This will make slicing much easier, and it’s an optional step.)
- Place the pizza rolls into the basket and arrange them about 1/2 inch apart. (you’ll need to cook in batches if necessary.)
- Set the temperature to 375ºF and set the time to 8 minutes.
- After 8 minutes, check every 1 minute until the cheese has melted and the dough is cooked through.
Notes
- Brushing the dough with oil will help prevent your rolls from getting soggy.
- Make sure you roll your dough very tightly so that they won’t fall apart when you slice them into smaller pieces.
- Avoid overcrowding the basket, and cook in batches if needed.
