Description

These Air Fryer Pizza Rolls are a crispy, cheesy snack or appetizer perfect for parties or quick bites. Made with wonton wrappers filled with marinara sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, and optional extra pizza toppings, they cook quickly in the air fryer to a golden brown with gooey cheese inside. The recipe includes tips for assembly, freezing, and reheating to enjoy fresh anytime.

Ingredients

Pizza Rolls

  • 25 wonton wrappers
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 3/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese
  • Extra pizza toppings (optional; e.g., pepperoni, cooked sausage, diced bell peppers, olives)
  • 1 egg (beaten with a splash of water for egg wash)
  • Olive oil spray (for air fryer basket)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Spray the basket of your air fryer with olive oil to prevent sticking and set aside.
  2. Test Assembly: Assemble one test pizza roll to ensure you can roll it properly before making the rest.
  3. Fill Wonton Wrapper: Lay out one wonton wrapper and place about 1 teaspoon marinara sauce in the center.
  4. Add Cheese: Spoon approximately 2 teaspoons of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the marinara.
  5. Add Toppings: Add any desired extra pizza toppings in small amounts.
  6. Seal Wrapper: Lightly brush water around the edges of the wrapper perimeter.
  7. Fold Corners: Fold two opposite corners into the center of the wrapper.
  8. Complete Folding: Fold the remaining two corners over the first two corners, creating a rectangular sealed packet enclosing the filling completely.
  9. Place in Basket: Put the sealed pizza rolls seam side down in the greased air fryer basket, taking care not to overcrowd the basket.
  10. Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the pizza rolls with the beaten egg mixture to help browning.
  11. Cook: Air fry the rolls at 400°F (204°C) for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  12. Cool Slightly: Remove from the air fryer and let sit for about 5 minutes to avoid burning your tongue.
  13. Serve: Enjoy warm, serving with extra marinara sauce on the side.
  14. Keep Warm (Optional): Keep finished rolls warm in a 250°F (121°C) oven for up to 30 minutes if needed.
  15. Freeze (Optional): To freeze uncooked rolls, skip egg wash, place on a lined baking sheet without touching, freeze for 1-2 hours, then transfer to a resealable freezer bag for several months.
  16. Cook Frozen Rolls: Brush frozen rolls with egg wash or olive oil before cooking, then air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 6-9 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  17. No Preheat or Defrost: When cooking frozen rolls, no need to preheat or defrost; place evenly spaced in basket.
  18. Cool After Cooking: Let cooked rolls rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Extra pizza toppings can include pepperoni, cooked sausage, diced bell peppers, olives, or mushrooms.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • Be careful when eating immediately after cooking; the filling can be very hot.
  • Use egg wash for a glossy golden finish, or substitute olive oil for a vegan option.
  • Frozen pizza rolls can be stored up to several months in the freezer.
  • Flip frozen rolls halfway through cooking for even browning.
