Ingredients
Scale
- Base & Main Components:
- 1 (12-ounce) package square wonton wrappers
- ½ cup good quality pizza sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup finely diced pepperoni
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or olive oil spray)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Flavor Builders:
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- Seasonings:
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- For Serving & Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 cup marinara sauce, warmed (for dipping)
Instructions
- Prep Filling: In a medium bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, diced pepperoni, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Add chopped fresh basil and mix gently to combine all ingredients for your ultimate Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls.
- Assemble Rolls: Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about ½ teaspoon of pizza sauce in the center of each wrapper. Top with a spoonful of your prepared cheese and pepperoni mixture. Don’t overfill them; less is more for perfect sealing.
- Fold & Seal: Lightly moisten the edges of each wonton wrapper with water. Fold one corner over to meet the opposite, forming a triangle. Press firmly around the edges to seal completely, ensuring no filling escapes during air frying. Brush with olive oil.
- Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the assembled Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they don’t touch. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and gloriously crispy.
- Garnish Rolls: Once the pizza rolls are perfectly golden and crispy from the air fryer, transfer them to a serving platter. Immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped parsley. This adds a lovely finish to these delicious snacks.
- Serve Warm: Serve your ultimate Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls immediately while they are still warm and gooey. Accompany them with a bowl of warmed marinara sauce for dipping. Get ready to relive those nostalgic childhood memories with every bite!
Notes
Prevent leaks by not overfilling wontons and sealing edges firmly with water; less filling ensures crispy success.
Store cooled pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days; reheat in air fryer.
Always use low-moisture mozzarella to avoid watery filling and ensure the ultimate crispy texture for your rolls.
Serve these crispy rolls immediately while warm, paired with warmed marinara sauce for dipping and enjoyment.
Assemble and flash freeze rolls until solid, then store in an airtight bag for quick air frying from frozen.
