Notes
-
- Preheat the air fryer for best results.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer. The pizza rolls will rise and spread a little, so leave plenty of room between them.
- For the sauce, you can use pizza sauce or plain tomato sauce or your favorite pasta sauce.
- Place a piece of parchment on the bottom of the air fryer or brush the air fryer basket or grates with olive oil.
- You can add a little more sauce if you prefer, just make sure you don't overfill these so the sauce does not ooze out as you roll them up.
- Top them off with a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese or fresh basil.
- Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
- Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model, so it is important to always check your food for doneness.
- Allow the pizza rolls to cool slightly before you remove them from the air fryer basket or muffin pan.
- Cooking pizza rolls in the air fryer is so easy, but you can also make them in the oven following the instructions in the recipe card.
- Prep Ahead - prepare the pizza rolls then store in the fridge until ready to cook.
- There are 8 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
