Air fryer pizza roll-ups

1. Prepare the Dough:
  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. This helps ensure the roll-ups cook evenly and become crispy.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangular shape, about 1/4-inch thick. If you’re using a can of pre-made dough, it should already be ready to roll.
2. Assemble the Roll-Ups:
  1. Spread the Sauce: Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the entire surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  2. Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Add your choice of toppings, such as shredded pepperoni or other favorite ingredients.
  3. Roll and Slice: Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough into a tight log or cylinder. Once rolled, use a pizza cutter or knife to slice the dough into 1-inch pieces. You should get about 8-10 roll-ups depending on how thick you slice them.
3. Prepare for Air Frying:
  1. Season the Roll-Ups: Brush the top of each roll-up with olive oil using a pastry brush. This helps them crisp up nicely in the air fryer. Sprinkle the garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil evenly over the roll-ups for extra flavor.
  2. Arrange in the Air Fryer: Place the roll-ups in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving some space between each piece. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
4. Air Fry the Pizza Roll-Ups:
  1. Cook: Air fry the pizza roll-ups at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
  2. Check for Doneness: The roll-ups should be crispy on the outside and the cheese should be melted and bubbly. If they need additional time, air fry them for an extra 1-2 minutes, checking frequently to avoid overcooking.
5. Serve:
  1. Cool Slightly: Allow the roll-ups to cool for a few minutes before serving. This helps the cheese set a bit and makes them easier to handle.
  2. Dip and Enjoy: Serve the pizza roll-ups with extra pizza sauce or marinara sauce for dipping. They’re great as an appetizer, snack, or even a fun meal!

Tips and Tricks:

  1. Customization: Feel free to customize your roll-ups with your favorite pizza toppings. You can add cooked sausage, bacon, mushrooms, or vegetables. Just make sure to cut the toppings into small pieces so they cook evenly.
  2. Cheese Variety: For a different flavor profile, you can mix different types of cheese like cheddar, parmesan, or provolone into the filling.
  3. Avoid Overcrowding: Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. If needed, cook in batches to ensure the roll-ups are crispy and cook evenly.
  4. Storage: Leftover pizza roll-ups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.
