Ingredients

Optional oil spray. Pizza rolls don’t need any added oil to cook perfectly in an air fryer, but the secret to getting them extra crispy is to give them a quick spritz with olive oil before air frying (note: try to avoid using generic ‘cooking spray’ because it can damage the non-stick coating of your air fryer).

Dipping sauce and toppings. Pizza rolls are awesome on their own, but they really do go best with something to dip them in, or something slathered over the top. Tomato sauce is good, tomato salsa, shredded cheese and sour cream (nacho-style) is better.

See ‘Serving’ section below for more ideas.

Directions

Step 1: Preheat air fryer to 380 degrees F (190°C).

Some air fryers state you don’t need to preheat them, but for foods with a short cook time (like most frozen food) I have definitely had better results using a preheated air fryer.

Step 2: Place frozen pizza rolls in air fryer.

Add the pizza rolls in a single layer. It is OK if they are touching, but if they are overlapping or piled up then the cooking time will be longer and you will need to make sure you shake the basket a few times during cooking to make sure they cook evenly.

Step 3: Air fry pizza rolls.

Air fry frozen pizza rolls for 5-8 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Check frequently to ensure they do not end up overcooked.

Step 4: Serve and devour!

Dunk in your favorite dipping sauce and devour. As soon as they have cooled down enough to eat that is!

How long to cook pizza rolls in the air fryer

It can be hard to get the cook time exactly right the first time you try cooking pizza rolls. The exact time needed will depend on a couple of factors like how powerful and efficient your air fryer model is and how many pizza rolls you are air frying.

If you have a powerful brand of air fryer like a Philips, a Nuwave or a Ninja Foodi, then expect cook times to be closer to 5 minutes. A less powerful model will need longer.

I would recommend checking often during the cooking time from around 4 minutes onwards.

You will know if you have cooked the pizza rolls for too long, as you will find that they burst during cooking and spill filling into your air fryer pan. If this happens to you, make a note (print off the recipe card below) and try cooking for a minute or two shorter next time.

Serving

Once they are cooked to your liking, serve the pizza rolls with your favorite sauce for dipping. I like plain old tomato ketchup, or BBQ sauce, but ranch dressing, or sour cream are also really great options.

Alternatively, if you want some ideas for how to dress up pizza rolls you could try:

• Sprinkling grated Parmesan cheese over the top once they are out of the air fryer but are still piping hot.
• Sprinkle with bacon bits or chopped pepperoni
• Serve them like nachos topped with chili and shredded cheese, tomato salsa, sour cream guacamole etc.
• Drizzle with pesto
• Serve in a bun, or roll in a tortilla with cheese and marinara sauce

However you serve them, remember pizza rolls will be very hot on the inside when they are fresh out of the air fryer, so bite with caution!

Storing and reheating

Store any leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and use within 3 days.

You can reheat the pizza rolls in the air fryer, air fry for around 2 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat them in the microwave, 30-60 seconds on high (though they won’t be as crispy as if you reheat in the air fryer).
