Perfectly cooked in the air fryer for a crispy bite, they’re served best with marinara or ranch dipping sauce.
Ingredients
Pizza Rolls
- 24.8 ounces pizza rolls (one 50-count package)
- Olive oil cooking spray (optional)
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp parsley (dried or freshly chopped)
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt (to taste)
Cheese and Serving
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan (or as much as you like)
- Marinara or ranch sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Arrange Pizza Rolls: Place pizza rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. Lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray if desired for extra crispiness.
- Air Fry: Set your air fryer to 380°F and cook the pizza rolls for 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking and crisping on all sides.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: While the pizza rolls cook, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, red pepper flakes, and salt in a small bowl. Mix well to blend all the flavors.
- Toss with Garlic Butter: Once the pizza rolls are finished cooking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the hot rolls and toss thoroughly until they are evenly coated.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the tossed pizza rolls. Toss again to distribute the cheese evenly. Transfer to a serving dish.
- Serve: Sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese on top if desired and serve the pizza rolls immediately with marinara or ranch dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
- Cooking in batches helps maintain crispiness by avoiding overcrowding in the air fryer basket.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your spice preference, or omit for a milder taste.
- Using freshly grated Parmesan cheese provides the best flavor and texture.
- Garlic butter can be prepared ahead of time and warmed slightly before tossing with the pizza rolls.
- Serve immediately for the best crispy texture; leftovers may lose crispness when reheated.
