FAQs About This Air Fryer Pizza Rolls Recipe
Are there another way to cook these pizza rolls?
You can cook these pizza rolls in the oven or in a skillet. Since all of the ingredients are either precooked or safe to consume without any cooking necessary, you really just need to heat the pizza rolls up.
To heat these pizza rolls in the oven, spray a baking sheet with cooking oil and place the pizza rolls on it seam side down. Bake at 325°F for 12 to 15 minutes, then flip and bake for an additional 7 to 10 minutes. Cook times will vary, depending on your desired level or crispiness.
To heat these pizza rolls on a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once the olive oil is heated, place the pizza roll on the skillet seam side down. Once the seam side reaches your desired level of crispiness, flip it and heat the other side.
Can I use egg roll wrappers instead of tortillas?
Yes! You can substitute egg roll wrappers for tortillas in this recipe. Egg roll wrappers will enclose the ends of the pizza rolls without changing the recipe. In my opinion, egg roll wrappers make these less like pizza rolls and more like hot pockets. If this is what you’re looking for, you can find egg roll wrappers in most grocery stores or in Asian food markets.
How should I store leftovers?
If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll stay good for up to 5 days. To reheat the air fryer pizza rolls, use a microwave or an air fryer.
What are some other ingredients I can put in the rolls?
I would recommend going with ingredients that are either flat or can be shredded. This will allow the tortillas to be rolled easily and all the ingredients to be spread throughout the pizza roll. A few other ingredients I’ve tried that go great in these pizza rolls are bacon, ham, olives, peppers, and mushrooms. If you want to add some heat to the pizza rolls, try adding red pepper flakes or Mike’s Hot Honey sauce.
What’s a good side dish for these pizza rolls?
These air fryer pizza rolls go great with a side salad (I recommend caesar), pasta salad, roasted veggies, breadsticks, or jalapeno poppers.
Tips to Make Awesome Piza Rolls
Use any cheese you like: Our local grocery store sells pizza cheese – and, to be honest, I’m not 100% sure what kind of cheese it is. But I trust that you’re supposed to use it on pizza. You can replace pizza cheese with mozzarella cheese or any other cheese that you prefer.
Cook meat if necessary: If you add meats, such as sausage or bacon, make sure they are cooked to the appropriate internal temperature before you add them to the tortillas.
Pepperoni as desired: I place pepperoni in lines of 3 across the top, 4 across the middle, and 3 across the bottom. I’ve found this to be the perfect amount of pepperoni. If you want more, or less, adjust accordingly.
Leave room around the edge: When adding the ingredients to the tortilla, you’ll want to leave about 3/4 an inch to 1 inch of space between the ingredients and the edge of the tortilla. When the tortillas are rolled, the ingredients will be pushed out. If you overfill the tortillas, it’ll make a mess in your air fryer and you’ll end up wasting ingredients.
