Who doesn’t love pizza rolls? These delicious little bites combine the comforting flavours of pizza into a convenient snack, perfect for any occasion. With the advent of air frying, we can now enjoy crispy pizza rolls with less oil and guilt. In this article, we’ll guide you through an easy air fryer pizza rolls recipe that is sure to impress your family and friends.

Ingredients

To make crispy air fryer pizza rolls, you will need the following ingredients:

• For the Pizza Roll Filling:

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup pepperoni slices (or your choice of toppings such as mushrooms, olives, or cooked sausage)
  • ½ cup pizza sauce (plus more for dipping)
• For the Rolls:
  • 1 pack of wonton wrappers or spring roll wrappers
  • 1 egg (beaten, for sealing)
  • Optional: Italian seasoning or garlic powder for extra flavour

Equipment

• Air fryer
• Mixing bowl
• Pastry brush or your hands (for sealing rolls)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling:
   In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and pizza sauce. If you like, you can add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or garlic powder for an added flavour boost.

2. Assemble the Pizza Rolls:

   • Lay out a wonton or spring roll wrapper on a clean surface.
   • Place about a teaspoon of the filling in the centre of the wrapper.
   • With a pastry brush or your finger, apply a bit of beaten egg around the edges of the wrapper to help seal it.
   • Fold the wrapper over to form a triangle or roll it up tightly, ensuring that no filling escapes. Press the edges to seal well.

3. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures that the pizza rolls cook evenly and achieve that lovely crispiness.

4. Cook the Pizza Rolls:

   • Arrange the assembled pizza rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure proper air circulation.
   • Lightly spray the top of the pizza rolls with cooking spray or brush them with a little oil for that extra crisp.
   • Cook the pizza rolls for about 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through until they turn golden brown and crispy.
5. Serve:
   Once cooked, remove the pizza rolls from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute. Serve with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping, and enjoy!

Tips for the Perfect Pizza Rolls

• Customise Your Filling: Feel free to get creative with the filling. Try adding cooked vegetables, different types of cheese, or even a dash of spicy sauce for a kick.

• Storage: If you have leftover pizza rolls, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat them in the air fryer at 160°C (320°F) for about 5 minutes.

• Batch Cooking: You can also prepare a large batch of pizza rolls to freeze. Assemble them, and instead of cooking right away, freeze them on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. When you’re ready to cook, no need to thaw; just increase the cooking time by a few minutes.

Conclusion

Crispy air fryer pizza rolls are not only a delightful snack but also a fantastic way to enjoy your favourite pizza flavours in a healthier form. With minimal effort, you can create a batch of these delectable bites that are perfect for movie nights, parties, or just a quick snack. Get your air fryer ready and treat yourself to this delightful recipe that everyone will love!
