🌶️ Ingredients

Frozen Pizza Rolls – All you need are frozen pizza rolls. You can spritz the pizza rolls with an oil mister to help golden up the pizza rolls, but that is optional!

Oil – You will find spritzing with oil will help your pizza rolls crisp up to golden perfection. Make sure to use an oil mister not an aerosol can as it can erode the coating on trays.

🧀 How To Make

Full directions for this recipe are in the printable recipe card, featured at the bottom of the post.

Step 1: Preheat the air fryer for 3 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2: Start by placing your pizza rolls in a single layer, in your air fryer trays ( I used my air fryer oven) or basket.

When cooking in the air fryer you have to leave space between each piece of food for an even cook.

Step 3: Cook your pizza rolls for 3 minutes, then flip. Then continue to cook for another 3 minutes or so.

Now depending on the brand and model of air fryer you own, cooking time will vary.

Cook your air fryer pizza rolls until they are crisp on the outside and a golden brown color.

Pair your rolls with ranch, marinara sauce, etc. The biggest thing is to make sure your rolls get fully cooked and have a nice crisp outside!

Storage

These pizza bites are best served fresh out of the air fryer. If you don't eat them all store in the fridge for 1-2 days. You can use to pack for a school lunch. But, they will lose the crispy texture.

We only make what we plan to eat at that time.

Expert Tips

Any brand of frozen pizza bites work. You can use fresh pizza bites as well, just adjust cook time.
Place the pizza bites in a single layer in your air fryer. Otherwise, you will find it gets an uneven cook on the bites.
I paired with a sauce, but you can eat alone, or serve however you would like.
