Description

This easy Air Fryer Pepperoni Roll recipe is a crispy, cheesy, and savory snack that brings all the flavors of pizza into a handheld roll. Perfect for game day, party appetizers, lunchboxes, or quick weeknight meals, these air fryer rolls are made with pizza dough, pepperoni, and mozzarella, then cooked to golden perfection in just minutes.


Ingredients

  • Refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade)
  • Sliced pepperoni
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Italian seasoning
  • Olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)
  • Optional: marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface and cut into 3x5 inch rectangles.
  3. Add sliced pepperoni and mozzarella on one half of each rectangle.
  4. Fold over and pinch edges to seal tightly.
  5. Brush tops with olive oil or butter and sprinkle Italian seasoning.
  6. Place rolls in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t touch.
  7. Air fry for 8–10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving with marinara sauce.

Notes

  • Avoid overfilling the rolls to prevent bursting.
  • Press edges with a fork to help seal better.
  • Customize with other fillings like mushrooms, sausage, or jalapeños.
  • Use cheddar or provolone for a cheese variation.
  • To reheat, use the air fryer for a crispier result.
