Tips for Making Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls:

• Do NOT Overcrowd the Air Fryer – Always keep the rolls in a single layer if possible, it is best to keep some room around the sides so they evenly cook on all sides.
• Watch Closely – Remember that all air fryers do heat differently and there will be a range, so be sure to watch closely the first time that you try this method.
• Use oil spray – Use an oil spray such as grapeseed oil spray, this will give a light coat of oil without deep frying.
• Avoid Overcooking – To keep the pizza rolls from bursting open, stick to 6-8 minutes and do not overcrowd the basket.

How do you store leftovers?

Once fully cooled, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

When reheating, air fry at 350 degrees F for 3-4 minutes until heated through; use additional oil spray if needed.

Best Dipping Sauce for Air Fryer Pizza Rolls:
