Air Fryer Pepperoni Rolls

Method

  1. 1

    Divide pizza dough into 8 equal pieces. Flatten each into a small rectangle.

  2. 2

    Layer 3 pepperoni slices and a piece of mozzarella on each. Roll up and pinch seams shut.

  3. 3

    Spray with oil. Air fry at 370°F for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and puffed.

  4. 4

    Brush with garlic butter and sprinkle with Parmesan and Italian seasoning while hot.

  5. 5

    Serve with warm marinara for dipping.

Pro tip. Pinch the seams well or the cheese leaks out (still tasty, just messy). Let the dough come to room temperature first — cold dough is hard to work with. These freeze great — air fry from frozen at 350°F for 14-16 minutes.

Why the air fryer wins here

  • Ready in 12 minutes. The same dish takes about 19 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
  • Fast-moving hot air browns the outside before the inside dries out, so you get color without babysitting.
  • Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.

Storing and reheating

Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.

Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes rather than the microwave so the outside crisps back up. See the reheat guide for exact times by food.
