Homemade Pizza Rolls In Air Fryer Recipe Tips

• Crowding: For best results, do not crowd your air fryer. Otherwise, the dough will not crisp up. The air fryer works by hot air circulating the basket and cooking the food up to perfection. When food is touching, the air can not circulate freely around your food, causing the food to be raw in some spots.
• Flipping: Depending on your air fryer basket, you may need to flip your food halfway during the cooking process.
• Overstuffing: Do not overstuff these. If you do, the filling will start to ooze out. It’s better to create e perfect homemade pizza roll by adding the ingredients sparsely.
• Brush: Although not mentioned, these can boost the color and flavor by brushing the pizza rolls with melted butter.
• Seasonings: Feel free to add any great herbs. Some traditional pizza seasonings are oregano, basil, and parsley. But you can add some heat by adding some red pepper flakes right before serving.
