Air Fryer Pizza Rolls - Crispy 25-Minute Snack

Crunchy crust meets molten cheese in these homemade air fryer pizza rolls. They’re ready in a quarter‑hour, and the air fryer gives a crisp finish that oven can’t match. No deep‑frying, no mess, just quick, tasty bites.

Each roll is a pocket of sauce, cheese, pepperoni, and herbs, wrapped in a hand‑rolled dough that stays tender inside. The key is a light egg wash and a quick spray of oil so the outer layer browns evenly.

Grab a bowl of your favorite dip, set the air fryer to 375°F, and you’ll have a snack that’s both comforting and convenient.

About the Ingredients

8 oz pizza dough (about 350 cal)

Use store‑bought or homemade dough. If refrigerated, let it sit 15 min before rolling.

½ cup pizza sauce (50 cal)

A smooth, pre‑heated sauce spreads easily. Sweet or spicy—pick your flavor.

¾ cup shredded mozzarella (225 cal)

Mozzarella melts best; if you like a stronger bite, mix in a bit of provolone.

4 slices pepperoni (80 cal)

Slice thin for quick melt. Swap for sausage or ham if you prefer.

1 tsp dried oregano (5 cal)

Adds aroma. You could use fresh oregano for a fresher taste.

1 tsp garlic powder (5 cal)

Enhances the sauce. A pinch of crushed garlic works too.

1 tbsp olive oil (120 cal)

Light brush on the rolls before air frying. Can be replaced with cooking spray.

1 egg white (20 cal)

Makes a shiny crust. If you’re avoiding eggs, use a splash of milk instead.

Tips & Tricks

• Keep the dough at room temperature; cold dough cracks when folded.
• Seal edges firmly with a fork to prevent filling from leaking.
• Spray the air fryer basket with non‑stick spray to reduce sticking.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare dough

Let dough sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Then roll out on a floured surface to a 12×8 inch rectangle.

2. Cut squares

Slice the rectangle into six equal 4×4 inch squares. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife.

3. Add filling

Spread a thin layer of sauce on each square. Sprinkle cheese, pepperoni, oregano, and garlic. Leave a small border.

4. Fold and seal

Fold each square in half, creating a triangle. Press edges with a fork to seal tight.

5. Brush egg wash

Whisk the egg white and brush it over the tops of the rolls. This gives a golden crust.

6. Prepare air fryer

Lightly spray the basket with non‑stick spray. Place rolls in a single layer, tops up.

7. Cook

Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 12 minutes. Flip halfway for even browning. Look for golden edges and bubbling cheese.

8. Cool and serve

Let rolls rest 2 minutes before serving. Pair with extra sauce or a side salad.

Delicious Variations

Cheesy spinach roll

replace pepperoni with sautéed spinach and ricotta.

Spicy jalapeño roll

add sliced jalapeños and a dash of red pepper flakes.

Veggie medley roll

mix diced bell peppers, mushrooms, and olives with the sauce.
