Ingredients
Scale
For the Pizza Rolls
- 25 wonton wrappers
- 1 cup marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or any cheese of choice)
- Pizza toppings (1-2 tsp per roll, options: pepperoni, cooked sausage, diced bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, etc.)
For the Egg Wash
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp water
Instructions
- Prepare the Air Fryer Basket. Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray to prevent sticking and set it aside for later use.
- Lay Out Wonton Wrappers. Place all the wonton wrappers flat on a clean, dry surface to prepare for filling.
- Add Fillings. Working one wrapper at a time, spoon approximately 1 teaspoon marinara sauce, about 2 teaspoons shredded mozzarella cheese, and 1-2 teaspoons of your chosen pizza toppings onto the center of each wonton wrapper.
- Seal the Pizza Rolls. Lightly brush the edges of each wonton wrapper with water to help seal. Fold two opposite corners into the center, then fold the remaining two corners over the first two to form a neat square with the filling completely enclosed. Repeat for all wrappers.
- Arrange in Air Fryer. Place the sealed pizza rolls seam-side down into the air fryer basket in batches, avoiding overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
- Brush with Egg Wash. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush the tops of the pizza rolls with this egg wash to promote browning and a glossy finish.
- Air Fry the Rolls. Cook the pizza rolls at 400°F (204°C) for 8-10 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy. If cooking in batches, repeat until all rolls are cooked.
- Keep Warm. To keep cooked rolls warm while finishing the rest, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a 250°F (121°C) oven for up to 30 minutes.
- Serve. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces such as marinara, pesto, ranch, or hot sauce for a delicious snack or appetizer.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the fillings with your preferred pizza toppings like pepperoni, cooked sausage, diced onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives.
- Make sure the edges of the wonton wrappers are properly sealed to prevent filling leakage during cooking.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even crisping; cook in batches if necessary.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, these can also be baked in a conventional oven at 400°F for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer or oven for best texture.
