Air Fryer Pizza Rolls

These AIR FRYER PIZZA ROLLS have a perfectly crispy shell, are evenly cooked, and oh so much better than microwaved pizza rolls!

Pizza rolls are a classic “I don’t know what to cook” dinner in my house.

They are easy, have several flavors (for real, have you ever tried the taco ones?!), and can be cooked a few or a bunch at once.

And, obviously, the kids LOVE pizza rolls!

Plus, these air fryer pizza rolls are easy enough for the kids to cook. What’s better than that?!

Why are pizza rolls in the air fryer better?

We used to either microwave pizza rolls (they’d be somewhat soggy and limp) or we’d bake them in the oven (it’d take forever and I hated heating up the whole kitchen for a pan of pizza rolls).

Then we tossed them in the air fryer and I don’t think we’ve cooked them any other way since!

While the air fryer does take a little longer than the microwave, it’s quicker than the oven and the results are absolutely delicious. Crispy outside, hot and cheesy inside!

Plus, it’s easy to make loads of pizza rolls all at once in the air fryer!

How to make pizza rolls in an air fryer:

• You can add the volume of pizza rolls appropriate for the group you are serving to your air fryer basket. However, be careful not to fill your basket more than halfway to the top to allow for full airflow.
• Cook for 8 minutes at 400 degrees F. Remove the basket and gently shake it a bit halfway through cooking.
• If you want crispier pizza rolls, continue cooking in one-minute intervals until your desired crispness.
• Watch for the seams to just start to pop – that’s when we know not to cook them any longer.

Pizza roll FAQ:

What to serve with your pizza rolls:

Start with a dip. Which dip you use will depend on the flavor of the pizza roll you select. But here is a list of some of our favorites for you to pair as you wish.

• Ranch dressing – Add a few drops of Frank’s hot sauce to give it a kick!
• Cheese Dip – White American and nacho cheese are great. Cheddar is also tasty.
• Ketchup – not my favorite, but that’s how my mom has always ate pizza rolls.
• Marinara sauce
• Barbecue Sauce – Not my personal go-to option, but the kids love it!

If you are trying to turn this into more of a full meal you have lots of options also.

• Make pizza nachos – drizzle on some warm marinara, sprinkle on cheese, and top with black olives or chopped pepperoni.
• Have a ‘freezer dinner’ as we call it in my house. Chicken nuggets, french fries, pizza rolls, and other convenience foods all together. It’s a great way to clean out your freezer every now and then, if not the healthiest dinner. 😉
• If you want it to be a little healthier, try buffalo cauliflower bites as a side!
• You could also serve them with more pizza rolls, haha. Like you know, different flavors and stuff. A whole pizza roll party!
