Homemade Air Fryer Pizza Rolls made from scratch are a blast to prepare and even more fun to eat. Fill them with your favorite pizza toppings for a perfect air fryer snack—ideal for game day, after-school treats, or parties.
Air fryers are fantastic for quick snacks. While they’re great for reheating store-bought items, they truly elevate easy homemade bites. These pizza rolls take just a few minutes to assemble and only 5–7 minutes in the air fryer to crisp up when cooked in small batches.
Making pizza rolls from scratch is quick and flexible. You can customize fillings and seasoning to suit your taste. Below you’ll find why these are so good, ingredient notes, step-by-step instructions, substitutions for dairy-free diets, storage and reheating tips, equipment suggestions, and nutrition facts.
❤️ Why you’ll love these pizza rolls
- These homemade pizza rolls are reminiscent of Totino’s but with a different, crispier crust because they use wonton wrappers.
- Wonton wrappers are the perfect size and shape and air-fry to a thin, crunchy exterior that many prefer to puffy commercial crusts.
- They can be ready in under 30 minutes from start to finish.
- Mini pizza rolls make a quick, satisfying snack whenever you’re craving pizza.
🍅 Ingredient notes
- Wonton wrappers – convenient, the right size for mini rolls, and they crisp nicely in the air fryer.
- Mozzarella cheese – use shredded mozzarella or a pizza cheese blend.
- Pepperoni – use full slices or cut into quarters/eighths for smaller pieces depending on how saucy you like them.
- Pizza sauce – a tangy pizza sauce works best; use store-bought or homemade to taste.
- Dried oregano – a small pinch adds a classic pizza flavor.
- Water – a small bowl of water helps seal the edges of the wonton wrappers.
This recipe is forgiving—adjust ingredient amounts to your preference. Add more sauce for saucier rolls or try different fillings and seasonings.
✅ Step-by-step instructions
These pizza rolls can be made in most air fryers, including basket-style and tray-style units. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
Assembly and cook method:
- Place one wonton wrapper flat on your work surface.
- Add about 2 pepperoni slices (or smaller pieces) in the center.
- Spoon roughly one teaspoon of pizza sauce over the pepperoni.
- Sprinkle about one teaspoon of shredded mozzarella.
- Add a pinch of dried oregano.
- Fold one side of the wrapper over the filling, then fold the opposite side and press the edges together with a fingertip dipped in water to seal.
- Roll or fold the remaining two sides and seal with water. Use a fork to press the edges for an extra seal.
- Lightly spray the air fryer rack or tray with cooking spray and arrange the rolls in a single layer. For a crisper finish, spray the tops lightly with olive oil.
- Air fry at 380°F (190°C) for about 14 minutes, checking and rotating halfway through for even browning.
- Let cool briefly before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.
💡 How to make dairy-free pizza rolls
If you need dairy-free options, substitute the mozzarella with plant-based shreds. Popular choices include Violife or Daiya-style mozzarella shreds; use the brand you prefer and follow the same assembly and cooking method.
