Ingredients Needed

Frozen pizza rolls – Totino’s pizza rolls are the best in my opinion. But you can use any frozen pizza rolls (there are different brands that all have slight changes in tastes). 

Marinara sauce – This can be replaced with tomato sauce or extra pizza sauce you have. 

Parsley – Fresh parsley is preferred, but you can use dried parsley as well.

Why Use The Air Fryer For This Recipe? 

I personally love a Ninja Foodi or Cosori 5 air fryer. I use them for as many great recipes as I can. When cooking in a 5 quart air fryer, you can achieve better results in much less time and using a lot less oil.

There’s nothing worse than a soggy pizza roll. The cooking process for air frying ensures that you get a crunchy exterior in a shorter cooking time than if you were to use a toaster oven or conventional oven and a baking sheet.

The same is true of deep frying. Although you’ll get the crisp shell, you’ll also need to use a lot more oil.

Air frying is the way to go if you want the best pizza rolls possible, while also keeping it on the healthier side.

Can I Store Leftover Air Fryer Pizza Rolls? 

Yes you can, by placing your leftovers in an airtight container and storing them in the fridge for up to 3 days.

To reheat, get the best results by placing them back in the hot air fryer. Spray with a little cooking spray or olive oil, and cook for a little less time than listed, or until heated thoroughly. 

Can I Make My Homemade Pizza Rolls Instead? 

If you want to ditch the bag of pizza rolls and make your own homemade air fryer pizza rolls instead, you definitely can!

Search for a recipe card online for how to make homemade pizza dough or crescent rolls for the outside.

The best part about making your own homemade dough is that you can stuff them with your choice of toppings.

For a lower carb option, you can also make them with wonton wrappers on the outside as well.
