- Prepare the Pizza Dough:
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into small rectangles or squares (about 3×3 inches).
- Add Toppings:
- Spoon a small amount of marinara sauce onto the center of each dough square. Be careful not to overfill.
- Add a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese and your chosen toppings on top of the sauce.
- Form the Rolls:
- Fold the dough over the filling to form a rectangle or roll, pressing the edges to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security.
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Rolls for Air Frying:
- Brush each pizza roll with olive oil or melted butter. This will help them turn golden brown.
- Sprinkle the tops with Italian seasoning or garlic powder for added flavor.
- Cook the Pizza Rolls:
- Place the pizza rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You might need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and crispy.
- Serving:
- Let the pizza rolls cool slightly before serving. Serve with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Pizza Rolls:
- Sealing the Rolls: Make sure to seal the edges well to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Place the pizza rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping to ensure they cook evenly and get crispy.
- Rotation: For even cooking, you may want to rotate or flip the pizza rolls halfway through the cooking time.
These homemade pizza rolls made in the air fryer are a fantastic snack for parties, game days, or even just a fun family dinner. Customize them with any of your favorite pizza toppings and enjoy a delicious, crispy treat!
