Brands like Totino’s or your favorite supermarket’s premium line tend to hold up well in the air fryer, delivering that perfect balance of crispy exterior and gooey, flavorful filling. This ensures they don’t burst open during cooking, keeping all that deliciousness right where it belongs!

How to Make Pizza Rolls in the Air Fryer
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 380°F and let it preheat for about 3 minutes.
- Arrange the Pizza Rolls: Place the frozen pizza rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd them to ensure even cooking.
- Cook: Air fry the pizza rolls at 380°F for 7 to 8 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to make sure they cook evenly.
- Check for Crispiness: After 7 to 8 minutes, check the pizza rolls. They should be golden brown and crispy. If they need more time, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the pizza rolls from the air fryer using tongs. Let them cool for a minute or two before serving, as the filling will be very hot.
Enjoy your perfectly crispy pizza rolls with your favorite dip!
