# Instructions:
01 -
Set your air fryer to 375°F and allow it to preheat for 3 minutes. Preheating ensures even cooking and maximum crispiness for this Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls Recipe. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
02 -
Lightly dust a clean surface with 2 tbsp all-purpose flour. Unroll the 13.8 oz can of refrigerated pizza dough and gently stretch it into a 12x9-inch rectangle. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to divide the dough into 12 equal squares for uniform rolls.
03 -
In a small bowl, stir together 1/2 cup pizza sauce, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1/4 tsp onion powder until fully combined. This boldly seasoned Saucy Tomato Base is the flavor foundation of your Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls Recipe.
04 -
Spoon about 1 tsp of the seasoned sauce onto each dough square. Top evenly with 1 cup shredded mozzarella, 1/4 cup mini pepperoni slices, 1/4 cup finely diced green bell pepper, and 2 tbsp grated Parmesan. Fold each square over the filling and pinch all edges firmly to seal.
05 -
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Lightly brush this mixture over the top and sides of each sealed roll. This step adds a savory, golden exterior that makes this Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls Recipe truly irresistible.
06 -
Arrange the rolls seam-side down in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket, leaving space between each one. Cook at 375°F for 7–8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the rolls are deep golden brown and the dough is fully cooked through with a satisfying crisp.
07 -
Immediately after removing from the air fryer, brush each roll with 1 tbsp melted unsalted butter. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning and 1/4 tsp coarse sea salt. This finishing touch elevates your Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls Recipe with a buttery, herb-crusted coating.
08 -
Transfer the rolls to a serving plate and let them cool for 2 minutes before serving. Warm 1/2 cup marinara sauce in a small saucepan or microwave and serve alongside for dipping. Enjoy your Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls Recipe fresh and hot for the best texture and flavor.
# Notes:
01 -
🧀 Cheese Tip: For extra gooey, melty results, use freshly shredded whole-milk mozzarella instead of pre-shredded. Pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that can reduce meltability inside the rolls.
02 -
❄️ Storage Advice: Store leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–4 minutes to restore their crispy exterior without drying them out.
03 -
🔄 Substitution Tip: Feel free to customize the fillings! Swap mini pepperoni for cooked Italian sausage crumbles, diced mushrooms, or black olives. The dough and sauce base work beautifully with almost any pizza topping combination you love.

🍽️ Serving Suggestion: These rolls make a fantastic party appetizer or game-day snack. Arrange them on a large platter with small bowls of warm marinara, ranch dressing, or garlic butter for a crowd-pleasing dipping spread.
