Description

Air Fryer Pizza Rolls are a quick and easy snack or appetizer made by rolling pepperoni, string cheese, and pizza sauce inside soft flour tortillas, then air frying until golden and crispy. Perfectly melted cheese and crispy edges make these pizza rolls a delicious bite-sized treat ideal for any pizza lover.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 8 soft taco-size flour tortillas
  • ½ cup pizza sauce
  • 6 ounces full-size sliced pepperoni (approximately 80–90 slices, using 10 slices per pizza roll)
  • 8 string cheese sticks, at room temperature
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Spread Sauce: Spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce at the bottom of each flour tortilla, leaving a ¼ inch border around the edge to prevent overflow when rolling.
  2. Add Pepperoni: Lay 10 slices of pepperoni evenly over the pizza sauce on each tortilla to ensure every bite has that classic pepperoni flavor.
  3. Add Cheese: Place one whole string cheese stick on top of the pepperoni for a gooey melty center.
  4. Roll the Tortilla: Carefully and tightly roll each tortilla up starting at the edge with the sauce and fillings, and place the rolled pizza seam side down to help it stay closed during cooking. Repeat for remaining tortillas.
  5. Preheat Air Fryer: Remove the basket from the air fryer and lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Leave the basket out and preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-4 minutes before cooking.
  6. Brush with Olive Oil: Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the tops of the pizza rolls with 2 to 3 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil to promote browning and crispiness.
  7. Air Fry Pizza Rolls: Place 3-4 pizza rolls in the air fryer basket, making sure to leave space between each roll for even airflow. Cook at 375°F for 9-10 minutes until the exterior is golden brown and crispy. Serve warm for best taste.

Notes

  • Ensure string cheese is at room temperature before rolling to prevent tearing the tortilla.
  • Do not overfill the tortillas to avoid spillage during air frying.
  • Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size and model of your air fryer.
  • For a crispier crust, you can increase the olive oil slightly or spray with nonstick spray before cooking.
  • Allow pizza rolls to cool slightly before eating as the filling will be very hot.
