How To Cook Pizza Rolls In A Air Fryer To Get Them Crispy

Do you know how to cook pizza rolls in a air fryer? If not, this post was written with you in mind. The best way to cook pizza rolls is to cook them in an air fryer. Pizza rolls come out perfectly crisp, and there is no extra oil needed. They’ll never be microwaved again!

How Does An Air Fryer Work?

You have just purchased your very first air fryer! Congratulations! If you aren’t new to the air fryer world, then welcome back! In case you don’t know, an air fryer produces crispy food on the outside and juicy food on the inside. All of this can be accomplished with very little or no oil in some cases. This is accomplished by using a heating coil and a high-pressure fan to bring the hot air created by the heating coil to the surface of your food.

How To Cook Pizza Rolls In A Air Fryer

The best way to cook pizza rolls is to air fry them. Pizza rolls that are perfectly crisp come out faster than you can heat up your oven.

The Totino’s package lists three ways to cook pizza rolls: in the oven, the toaster oven, and in the microwave. I prefer to cook them a fourth way, and I think it’s probably my favorite. Last week, I made microwaved pizza rolls that were disappointing and wondered if I could air fry them? Well, guess what? You can. And they’ll taste heavenly!

An air fryer provides a perfect medium between microwaving and baking pizza rolls. This method makes pizza rolls that are perfectly crispy, just like the original! When you try air frying pizza rolls for the first time, you won’t go back to using a microwave or oven again!

I usually use Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Snacks, but Kroger’s Pizza Snack Rolls, Annie’s Pizza Poppers, or Totino’s pizza rolls, can also be prepared the same way.

Air Frying Times For Frozen Pizza Rolls

Air fryers take between five and eight minutes to cook frozen pizza rolls. You’ll need to determine the time required based on a couple factors like the power and efficiency of the air fryer model you own as well as how many pizza rolls you’re air frying.

You should expect cook times closer to 5 minutes if you have a powerful brand of air fryer such as a Nuwave, Philips, or Ninja Foodi.

It will take longer for a model with less power. I recommend checking often during the cooking time (around 4 minutes) to ensure you get the cook time exactly right the first time you cook pizza rolls. If they are crispy and golden brown when you check, they are ready.

The pizza rolls will burst if you cook them too long, spilling filling into the air fryer pan. Next time, try reducing your cooking time next time if this happens. Check for the correct temperature and the correct time setting on your air fryer.

If you want to make the perfect amount of time for frying in your air fryer, you can print out the recipe card below.

What is The Right Temperature To Cook Pizza Rolls In An Air Fryer

You should air fry pizza rolls at 380 degrees F (190°C). This technique ensures they reach the correct internal temperature, whilst maintaining the perfect outside crispness (without being overcooked).

Unless you’re using a super-hot air fryer, the air fryer needs to be cooler than an oven anyway. In an air fryer, do not cook pizza rolls using the oven temperature listed on the packet!

To determine the cooking time and temperature needed for other frozen foods in an air fryer, use an air fryer conversion calculator (°F and °C options).

How To Cook Pizza Rolls In An Air Fryer

  1. Prepare the air fryer by heating to 380 degrees Fahrenheit (190°C).
  2. One pizza roll per layer should be added. It okay if they are touching in a single layer, but if you overcrowd the basket air will not be able to surround your rols meaning they won’t cook properly.
  3. Make air-fried pizza rolls. It will take between five and eight minutes to cook. To prevent them from becoming overcooked, check them often.
  4. I hope you enjoy it!

Recipe Notes

  • Dip them in your favorite sauce or pizza sauce.
  • Keep in mind they’ll be hot right out of the air fryer!
  • A single layer of pizza rolls should be placed in the basket of the air fryer.
  • The best pizza rolls are those that are air fried until golden brown and crispy.

What Do You Serve With Pizza Rolls

Serve the pizza rolls with the dipping sauce after they have been cooked to your satisfaction. My favorite sauces are BBQ, sour cream, tomato, and ranch dressing. Here are some ideas for pairing ideas for air fried pizza rolls:

  • After they are out of the air fryer, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top
  • Sprinkle with pesto
  • They can be served with chips and cheese, tomato salsa, guacamole and sour cream.
  • Add cheese and marinara sauce to a bun or a tortilla
  • Rolls can be served with dipping sauce

Remember to bite carefully when eating pizza rolls fresh from the air fryer – they will be very hot on the inside!
