How To Make Air Fryer Pepperoni Pizza Crescent Rolls

Step One: Start by laying out your crescent rolls on a flat surface, I typically use a cutting board.

Step Two: Then place a pepperoni slice down and place a cheese stick (I cut mine up in thirds, which fit the dough well). Place them in either the air fryer basket or tray (both greased with olive oil, so they don’t stick) Set the air fryer temperature to 320 degrees F, and set cook time for 5-7 minutes.

🥐 Air Fryer Pepperoni Pizza Crescent Rolls Recipe Tips

🧀 Use string cheese or mozzarella sticks – They melt perfectly and stay neatly inside.
🌪️ Don’t overcrowd the air fryer – Give each roll space to cook evenly and crisp up.
📏 Seal the edges well – Press the dough tightly to keep the cheese from leaking.
⏱️ Check around the 6-minute mark – Crescent rolls cook fast and can brown quickly.
🍅 Serve with warm marinara or pizza sauce – Adds that classic pizzeria flavor!

Storing, Freezing & Reheating

• 🧊 Storing: Store leftover crescent rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. 🥐 Let them cool completely before refrigerating to prevent sogginess.
• ❄️ Freezing: Freeze cooked and cooled rolls in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. ❄️ Reheat straight from frozen in the air fryer for a quick snack.
• 🔥 Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes until warm and crispy. 🌪️ Avoid the microwave to keep the dough from turning soft.

What To Serve With Air Fried Pepperoni Pizza Crescent Rolls

Air Fried Pepperoni Pizza Crescent Rolls are delicious on their own, but even better when served with tasty sides and dips. Pair them with warm marinara or ranch dressing for dipping, and add a fresh Caesar or garden salad to balance the richness. For a fun party platter, serve alongside mozzarella sticks, garlic knots, or a simple veggie tray—perfect for game days, gatherings, or an easy family dinner night!
