Directions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
- Roll out the pizza dough on a clean surface and cut it into small squares, about 3 inches each.
- On each square, place a small amount of pizza sauce, a generous sprinkle of cheese, and your choice of fillings.
- Fold the dough over the filling to form a pocket and press the edges firmly to seal.
- Lightly spray the outside of the pizza rolls with olive oil to enhance crispiness.
- Arrange the rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve warm with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient substitutions: Use store-bought dough or crescent roll dough if you’re short on time. You can also swap pizza sauce for marinara or pesto for a different flavor.
- Optional variations: Get creative with fillings! Try adding sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives for a veggie-packed version, or even switch to BBQ chicken for a fun twist.
- Storage or reheating tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes to regain that crispiness.
