    Air Fryer Pizza Rolls - Frozen Pizza Rolls in Air Fryer

    If you've got a pizza roll craving, you want them to be as crispy and delicious as possible. And nothing accomplishes that quite like using your air fryer! Tiktok inspired me to create this fun, flavorful twist on the classic snack! And then when our frozen pizza rolls are crispy and golden brown, we're going to toss them with and incredibly delicious garlic butter parmesan topping with a little kick! It takes them to another level that you just HAVE to experience!

    Air Fryer Pizza Rolls with Garlic Butter and Parmesan

    The best thing about these pizza rolls is the garlic parmesan butter topping! Pizza rolls are delicious on their own, but the mixture of butter, parmesan cheese, parsley, and a hint of crushed red pepper to add a little kick! I love how it just takes the pizza rolls to another level, from an everyday snack to an appetizer good enough for guests! Once I tried making my pizza rolls this way, I never went back! Now it's the only way I make them!

    How long do you cook pizza rolls in Airfryer? Air Fryer Pizza Rolls Time

    If you're wondering how long to cook pizza rolls in the air fryer, you're in the right place! The key is to cook them long enough to be cooked through and crispy, but not long enough to burst. So the sweet spot for perfectly crispy pizza rolls is to cook them at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 minutes. Keep in mind, however, that different air fryer models can vary, so you may need to cook your rolls for a little less or a little more time.

    Ingredients

    • pizza rolls - Totino's or a similar brand will work. I used a 24.8-ounce bag and worked in batches, or you can use part of a larger bag.
    • unsalted butter - I like to use unsalted butter in this recipe so that you can add salt to taste later.
    • grated parmesan cheese - you can use freshly grated parmesan or store-bought grated parmesan.
    • parsley - feel free to use dried parsley or fresh chopped parsley. You can also use italian seasoning or basil.
    • red pepper flakes - also called crushed red pepper; I add these to give these pizza rolls a little kick! You can add a little less (or more) according to your preference, or omit them altogether.

    Equipment Needed

    First and foremost, you'll need an air fryer! Most air fryers should work, such as this Ninja air fryer. You'll also need a microwave or a saucepan to heat your butter, as well as a cheese grater if you're using a block of Parmesan cheese. I also love this Joseph Joseph garlic press!

    Tips and F.A.Q.

    Why do pizza rolls explode?

    Pizza rolls explode because the liquids inside begin to boil and expand. But once you know how long to cook pizza rolls in air fryer you can avoid this issue! So we're only cooking these rolls for 8 minutes, but the air fryer will get them golden brown and crispy. Check them after 4 minutes to see how they're doing, and they'll come out so delicious!

    Do you preheat an air fryer?

    I don't think you'll need to preheat your air fryer for these air fryer pizza rolls with garlic butter, but if you want to help crisp them up even more, you can preheat your air fryer for 1-3 minutes.

    Do I need to add oil or cooking spray?

    You can if you like -- I find that the pizza rolls get nice and crispy on their own, but it can be enhanced with a bit of cooking spray.

    What kinds of pizza rolls can I use for this recipe?

    You can use any pizza roll flavor you like for these air fryer pizza rolls with garlic butter! I love the pepperoni and triple cheese varieties of Totino's rolls. Or you can use Annie's Pizza Poppers, or for a vegan version try Amy's Vegan Cheeze Pizza Snacks!

      I didn't think it was possible for pizza rolls to taste better, you have proved me wrong. Pizza rolls take me wayyyyyyy back to my childhood- they are one of my most favorite snacks to make, and this garlic parmesan magic, just levels pizza rolls to a whole new level.

      I'm not gonna lie, it's recipes like this that are worth buying an Air Fryer for alone! I'm pretty sure I could crush two plates of these pizza rolls EASY! I'll keep this one in mind for when I finally pick up my airfryer.

      Looks amazing, thanks Chenée!
