Can you cook frozen pizza rolls in the air fryer?

Yes, you can absolutely cook frozen pizza rolls in your air fryer, and it is extremely easy! Just throw them in at 400 degrees for 7 minutes, tossing halfway through. (That’s right—no cooking spray or oil of any kind required!) Take them out and allow them to rest before biting into them, because they will be filled with piping hot pizza toppings!

Serve them as an after school snack, a snack for guests, or even quick lunch when you’re running late! You can also store leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container for later. Reheat in the microwave or toss them back into the air fryer for a few minutes to bring them back to life!

Tips for Success

• Preheat the air fryer – Allow the air fryer to preheat to 400 degrees for 5 minutes prior to adding the frozen pizza rolls.

• Don’t thaw the pizza pockets – You are going to want to use fully frozen pizza bites because if you thaw them the filling will explode out the sides of the pizza pocket.

• Don’t overcook – If you cook pizza rolls for too long the filling will explode out the sides. Every air fryer is different, so you may want to check the pizza bites prior to cooking all of the way through to make sure they aren’t over cooked.

• Brand of pizza rolls – We use a bag of frozen Totino’s pizza rolls, and that is what we recommend using for this air fryer recipe. Feel free to get any flavor combination like pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, or veggie!

• Try not to over fill the tray – Try not to overfill the air fryer tray, because the rolls won’t cook properly and may not come out as crispy as you would like. Work in batches for larger quantities.
