To make these air-fried frozen pizza rolls, you will need an air fryer. The air fryer works by circulating hot air around the pizza rolls to get them crispy and cooked to perfection.
There are a lot of different brands of air fryers, but some popular ones are:
Depending on the type of air fryer you have, it may have a basket or a tray. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can also make this recipe in a conventional oven or toaster oven.
Tongs are also very helpful for removing the hot pizza rolls from the air fryer.

Ingredients
All you need for this recipe is 1 package of frozen Totino’s pizza rolls (our favorite brand). You can find them at the frozen food section of your local grocery store. You can also try another brand of pizza rolls, like Costco or Trader Joe’s. This recipe will work the same for the regular size and the mini pizza rolls.
If you want to serve these with a dipping sauce, they go great with marinara sauce, pizza sauce, ranch dressing, or buttery garlic dip.
HOW TO COOK FROZEN PIZZA ROLLS IN THE AIR FRYER
To cook frozen pizza rolls in the air fryer, lay the rolls out in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray. Set the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 8 minutes. After 3-4 minutes, remove the basket or tray and shake or flip the pizza rolls over with tongs. This helps them cook evenly. Put the pizza rolls back for the remaining time.
If pizza rolls are still cold or aren’t quite crispy enough, put them back in for an extra minute. Use tongs to remove the pizza rolls, as they can be very hot. Pizza rolls are done when they are golden brown, crisp, and warmed throughout.
Like making any foods in the air fryer, you want to put them in a single layer and not stack them.
Allow the pizza rolls to cool before serving! The filling can be very hot and tends to ooze out when you bite into them, so make sure they are cool enough to eat before taking that first bite!
Please note – you do NOT need to thaw the pizza rolls before putting them into the air fryer. They actually come out better when they are cooked from frozen.
What If the Pizza Rolls Explode in the Air Fryer? One of the most common problems. If this happens, use a fork to poke small holes in them so the steam escape and won’t explode
