How to make homemade air fryer pizza rolls

Even though they might not look the prettiest on the outside, kids love how tasty they are on the inside.

Why use the air fryer for pizza rolls?

The air fryer not only cooks faster than the conventional oven, but it also does a great job making the entire outside of the roll crispy without hot spots or burned areas.

Can you reheat frozen pizza rolls in the air fryer?

You can definitely reheat frozen pizza rolls in the air fryer. Most frozen pizza rolls will have instructions on how to cook them in the air fryer.

Do I need to line the air fryer with parchment paper?

I lined the basket with parchment paper so none of the ingredients fell through it. That being said, you don’t necessarily have to use parchment paper if you think the rolls will stay in tact. As a matter of fact, if you don’t use parchment paper you might not have to flip the rolls halfway through cooking as the air flow should circulate evenly without it.
