Ingredients
Scale
Pizza and Filling Ingredients:
- 1 package pizza dough
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Oil and Coating Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- 1 spray cooking spray
Instructions
- Lay out the pizza dough on a clean surface and roll it into a rectangular shape, ensuring an even thickness.
- Spread marinara sauce evenly across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for sealing.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then distribute pepperoni slices across the surface.
- Mix dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl to create a seasoning blend.
- Generously dust the seasoning mixture over the cheese and pepperoni layer.
- Carefully roll the dough tightly from one long edge to create a compact log, pressing the seam to seal.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1-inch thick rolls, creating uniform pizza roll segments.
- Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange pizza rolls in the basket, ensuring they are not touching each other.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil and sprinkle grated parmesan cheese.
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F and cook rolls for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from air fryer and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving to prevent burning.
- Garnish with additional parmesan or serve with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure dough is rolled evenly to guarantee consistent cooking and texture throughout the pizza rolls.
- Seal the seam tightly when rolling to prevent filling from leaking during air frying.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket, allowing hot air to circulate and create crispy exterior for each roll.
- Experiment with alternative fillings like vegetarian options, different cheeses, or swap pepperoni for ham or chicken to suit various dietary preferences.
