Ingredients

CHEESE Mozzarella, Parmesan, even cheddar can be used!

How to Make Air Fryer Pizza Rolls

Roll pizza dough into a rectangle (per recipe below).
Top with sauce, cheese and pepperoni.
Roll up dough lengthwise (cinnamon roll style) and cut into 8 equal pieces. Pinch the bottom of each roll to help keep the cheese in.
Place in a single layer in the air fryer basket and air fry until cooked through and crisp on the outside.

In the Oven:

Place slices in a greased muffin tin and bake in an oven preheated to 400°F.
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes.
Serve hot with remaining sauce or other dips.

To make packaged frozen pizza rolls (such as Totinos) in the air fryer, preheat the air fryer to 380°F. Place the rolls in a single layer and cook 5-7 minutes shaking the basket after 4 minutes. Rest 2 minutes before serving.

Freeze for Later!

Make pizza rolls as directed. Freeze cooled pizza rolls in a zippered bag with the date labeled on the outside and they’ll be fresh for up to 2 months.
Let them thaw in the refrigerator and reheat them at 350°F for 15 minutes. Place them under the broiler to crisp the tops for about 3 minutes and serve hot.
