Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s everything you need to whip up these savory little rolls:
- 1 pre-made pizza dough (refrigerated or homemade)
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup sliced bell peppers (or other favorite toppings like mushrooms, pepperoni, or olives)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
How to Make Pizza Roll-Ups in the Air Fryer
1. Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat for a few minutes while you prepare the rolls.
2. Roll Out the Dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough into a rectangle, about 12×9 inches. Keep the dough even in thickness.
3. Add Sauce and Toppings
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and your chosen toppings evenly over the sauce.
4. Roll and Slice
Roll the dough tightly from the long edge to form a log. Slice into 1-inch pieces using a sharp knife.
5. Prep for the Air Fryer
Place a piece of parchment paper in the air fryer basket (optional but recommended for easy cleanup). Arrange the pizza roll-ups cut-side up, making sure they’re not touching. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
6. Brush and Season
Lightly brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
7. Air Fry to Crispy Perfection
Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted. Keep an eye on them after 8 minutes to avoid over-browning.
8. Serve and Enjoy
Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly. Serve warm with extra marinara sauce for dipping if desired.
Tips & Topping Ideas
- Make it meaty: Add small slices of pepperoni or cooked sausage before rolling.
- Veggie-loaded: Use mushrooms, spinach, onions, or olives for a veggie-packed version.
- Extra cheesy: Mix in a little parmesan or cheddar for more flavor.
- Spice lovers: Add a dash of crushed red pepper flakes inside the rolls.
