Ingredients
Egg Rolls
- 6-8 egg roll wrappers
Filling
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup chopped pepperoni
- 1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- Italian seasoning, to taste
For Finishing
- Olive oil spray
- Additional Italian seasoning, to sprinkle
- Garlic powder (optional), to sprinkle
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 370°F (188°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the egg rolls.
- Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, chopped pepperoni, and grated parmesan cheese. Sprinkle Italian seasoning into the mixture and stir to combine evenly.
- Assemble Egg Rolls: Place one egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with a corner pointing toward you. Spoon the pizza filling onto the bottom corner. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the left and right sides tightly. Continue rolling until fully wrapped. Use a little water to seal the top corner to prevent opening during cooking.
- Season Egg Rolls: Lightly spray the surface of each wrapped egg roll with olive oil spray. Sprinkle with extra Italian seasoning and garlic powder if desired for added flavor.
- Air Fry: Place the egg rolls in the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 370°F for 5 minutes, then carefully flip each egg roll over and continue cooking for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- Ensure the egg roll wrappers are sealed properly with water to prevent filling from leaking during cooking.
- Use a light olive oil spray to promote crispiness without excess oil.
- You can customize the filling by adding vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms if desired.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
- Keep an eye on egg rolls towards the end of cooking to avoid burning as air fryer models and temperature accuracy may vary.
