Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Cheese:
- 1 (6-ounce) package full-size sliced pepperoni
- 8 string cheese sticks, at room temperature
Wrap Ingredient:
- 8 soft taco-size flour tortillas
Sauce and Oil:
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Layer pizza sauce across flour tortillas, maintaining a small perimeter to prevent spillage and ensure neat rolling.
- Distribute pepperoni slices evenly over sauce, positioning string cheese lengthwise to create a central filling core.
- Carefully roll tortillas into compact cylinders, ensuring a tight seal with the seam positioned underneath to prevent unraveling during cooking.
- Prepare air fryer by lightly coating the basket with nonstick spray to prevent potential sticking and facilitate easy removal.
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F, allowing the appliance to reach optimal temperature for crispy exterior and thorough internal heating.
- Delicately brush pizza roll surfaces with olive oil to enhance golden browning and create a glossy, appetizing appearance.
- Arrange rolls in a strategic single layer within the air fryer basket, maintaining sufficient spacing to enable proper air circulation and even cooking.
- Initiate air frying process, cooking for approximately 9-10 minutes until rolls transform into golden, crisp parcels with a perfectly melted interior.
- Allow pizza rolls to rest momentarily after cooking, then serve alongside complementary dipping sauces like additional pizza sauce or ranch for enhanced flavor experience.
Notes
- Prevent sticking by lightly spraying the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray before adding pizza rolls.
- Ensure even cooking by leaving space between rolls and avoiding overcrowding the air fryer basket.
- Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer model; some may require slight temperature or time modifications for perfect crispiness.
- For a healthier version, use whole wheat tortillas and turkey pepperoni to reduce calories and fat content.
