Air fryer pizza bites are the perfect after-school snack or fast lunch when you're craving something comforting.

Ingredients and Substitutions

• Frozen Pizza Rolls - Grab your favorite brand of frozen pizza rolls from the grocery store. For this recipe, any kind will work. We love Totino's or Amy's.
• Pizza Sauce - Pizza sauce is, of course, the go-to for these crispy pizza rolls, but if you don’t have a jar of it on hand, marinara sauce or tomato sauce will work as well. Ranch dressing is another favorite dipping sauce for these pizza rolls.
• Parmesan Cheese - A quick shake of grated Parmesan cheese is a delicious way to take frozen pizza rolls to the next level.

Instructions

Set air fryer to 380 degrees. Arrange pizza rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray.

Cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Let sit for 2 minutes so the mozzarella cheese can cool a bit.

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve with pizza sauce and enjoy!

Tips

• Make sure the pizza rolls are in a single layer. This will ensure they cook evenly and all the way through. If there's too many pizza rolls close together, they won't get crispy. If you're making more than 20 pizza rolls at one time, just cook them in batches.
• No need for cooking spray - the air fryer gets them perfectly crispy. However, if you're looking for an extra crispy texture you are welcome to give them a spritz or two of cooking spray, though it's not necessary.
• If your air fryer seems to prone to having things stick to it, feel free to line the air fryer with parchment paper, spray the tray/basket with an air fryer safe cooking spray, or shake the pizza rolls about halfway through the cooking process. I have not had any issues with any food sticking in the instant vortex but all air fryers are slightly different.
• If your pizza rolls explode, no worries! I find that the best way to know if pizza rolls are done is when they explode! Some prefer an un-exploded pizza roll and if that's the case, just pull them a minute or so early when they are slightly crisp on the outside but have not exploded.

Storage and Reheating

• Storage: Store leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. These pizza rolls really are best enjoyed fresh so they may not taste quite as good left over.
• Reheating: Because the air fryer is amazing, you can reheat leftovers in the air fryer as well! Set the air fryer at a low temperature like 320 degrees, and heat the rolls for about 2 minutes or until warmed through.
