Easy Air Fryer Pizza Roll Ups

Craving pizza in a quick, fun-to-eat snack? These Air Fryer Pizza Roll Ups are the perfect solution! Made with simple ingredients, they deliver crispy, cheesy goodness in minutes. Perfect for kids, game days, or a quick treat.

Ingredients

  • 4 (8-inch) flour tortillas
  • Pizza sauce (use your favorite store-bought brand)
  • Pepperoni slices
  • 4 mozzarella string cheese sticks
  • Olive oil (or avocado oil)

Instructions

1. Warm the Tortillas

  • Stack the 4 tortillas on a microwave-safe plate.
  • Place a damp paper towel on top and microwave for 20 seconds until warm.
    (Alternatively, use a tortilla warmer.)

2. Preheat the Air Fryer

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
  • Set the timer for 5 minutes to heat thoroughly.

3. Prepare the String Cheese

  • Cut each string cheese stick in half lengthwise to make 8 pieces.

4. Assemble the Roll Ups

  • Lay a tortilla flat.
  • Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce across the bottom of the tortilla.
  • Add 5 pepperoni slices on top of the sauce.
  • Place one piece of string cheese on top of the pepperoni.
  • Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling.
  • Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

5. Brush with Oil

  • Lightly brush the tops of each roll-up with olive oil.
    (This helps them crisp up in the air fryer.)

6. Cook in the Air Fryer

  • Place the roll ups seam-side down in the air fryer basket.
  • Cook at 375°F for 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

7. Serve

  • Carefully remove the roll ups from the air fryer.
  • Let them cool slightly before serving.
  • Pair with extra pizza sauce for dipping, and enjoy!

Tips for Success

  • Seam-Side Down: Always place the roll ups seam-side down in the air fryer to prevent them from unrolling.
  • Crispier Finish: For extra crunch, brush a bit more oil before cooking.
  • Extra Fillings: Customize with mushrooms, bell peppers, or cooked sausage for variety.

FAQs for Easy Air Fryer Pizza Roll Ups

1. Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas?

Yes, but corn tortillas can be less flexible and may crack when rolled. Warm them well before assembling, or use flour tortillas for the best results.

2. Can I add other fillings to the roll ups?

Absolutely! You can customize your roll ups with additional fillings like diced bell peppers, mushrooms, cooked sausage, or black olives. Be sure not to overfill them to avoid spillage.

3. Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble the roll ups and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Brush with oil and cook in the air fryer when ready to serve.

4. How do I prevent the roll ups from unrolling in the air fryer?

Place the roll ups seam-side down in the air fryer basket. The weight of the roll will help keep them secure. You can also secure them with a toothpick if needed.

5. Can I make these gluten-free?

Yes! Use gluten-free tortillas and ensure your pizza sauce and other ingredients are certified gluten-free.

6. What if I don’t have an air fryer?

You can bake the roll ups in a preheated oven at 400°F for 10–12 minutes or until golden and crispy. A toaster oven works as well.

7. How can I make these healthier?

  • Use whole wheat tortillas.
  • Replace regular pepperoni with turkey or vegetarian pepperoni.
  • Opt for low-fat mozzarella cheese and pizza sauce.

8. Can I freeze the roll ups?

Yes, you can freeze the assembled roll ups before cooking. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap or foil, then store in a freezer bag. Cook directly from frozen in the air fryer at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, brushing with oil before cooking.

9. How do I keep them crispy for serving?

To maintain crispiness, serve immediately after cooking. If you need to keep them warm, place them in a preheated oven at 200°F on a wire rack to avoid sogginess.

10. What dipping sauces work best with these roll ups?

Apart from pizza sauce, try ranch dressing, garlic butter, marinara, or even a spicy sriracha mayo for a twist.

Enjoy your delicious and crispy pizza roll ups!

Storage & Reheating

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 2–3 minutes to regain crispiness.
