Description

Enjoy these Easy Air Fryer Pizza Roll Ups, a quick and delicious snack perfect for any time of day. Soft bread slices are flattened, filled with marinara sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni, then rolled up and air fried to a golden, crispy perfection. Ideal as an appetizer or kid-friendly after-school treat, this recipe combines classic pizza flavors with the convenience of the air fryer.


Ingredients

Scale

Roll Ups

  • 6 slices sandwich bread (crusts removed)
  • 1/2 cup marinara or pizza sauce
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 18 slices pepperoni

Seasoned Butter

  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Optional Garnish

  • Grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley


Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread: Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread until thin, creating a flat base for the fillings.
  2. Add sauce and toppings: Spread about 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce onto each flattened bread slice, leaving a small border. Sprinkle evenly with shredded mozzarella cheese and top with 3 slices of pepperoni.
  3. Roll up: Tightly roll each bread slice like a pinwheel, then set aside.
  4. Prepare seasoned butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush this seasoned butter over the outside of each roll up for extra flavor and crispiness.
  5. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for 2–3 minutes.
  6. Air fry the roll ups: Place the roll ups seam-side down in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the roll ups are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve: Let the roll ups cool slightly before serving warm. Optionally, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Serve with extra marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • You can substitute pepperoni with cooked sausage or mushrooms.
  • For a vegetarian option, use just cheese and sauce.
  • Perfect as a kid-friendly appetizer or a quick after-school snack.
  • Ensure the air fryer basket is not overcrowded for even cooking.
