Directions: Pizza Rolls in the Air Fryer

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C). This step ensures that your pizza rolls will cook evenly and achieve that perfect crispy texture.

Step 2: Prepare the Pizza Rolls

While the air fryer is preheating, remove the Totino’s Frozen Pizza Rolls from the package. They can be cooked straight from frozen, so there’s no need to thaw them!

Step 3: Spritz with Cooking Spray

Lightly coat the pizza rolls with cooking spray. This will help achieve a beautiful golden-brown color and enhance their crunchiness.

Step 4: Arrange in the Air Fryer Basket

Place the pizza rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even cooking. If you have a large batch, consider cooking them in batches.

Step 5: Cook to Perfection

Cook the pizza rolls for 6-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on them towards the end to avoid overcooking.

Step 6: Serve with Dipping Sauce

Once golden and crispy, remove the pizza rolls from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute. Serve them with a side of marinara pizza sauce or ranch for dipping. Enjoy every cheesy bite!

Smart Substitutions

Vegan Pizza Rolls – Opt for plant-based pizza rolls if you’re looking for a vegan version.
Gluten-Free Options – Look for gluten-free pizza rolls that are available in stores.
Homemade Rolls – For a twist, you can make your own pizza rolls using your favorite pizza dough and fillings.

Chef’s Notes

For an extra crispy finish, try increasing the temperature to 400°F (204°C) for the last couple of minutes of cooking.
If you’re cooking multiple batches, keep the finished rolls warm in a low oven while the others cook.
Be cautious of the hot filling inside the rolls; let them cool slightly before diving in.
Experiment with different dipping sauces like garlic aioli for a fun twist.

Keep It Fresh: Storage Guide

Pizza rolls are best enjoyed fresh out of the air fryer, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the air fryer at 350°F (177°C) for about 5 minutes to restore their crispiness.
