WHAT ARE PIZZA ROLLS?
These crispy golden bites are filled with melted cheese, tomato sauce, and your favorite pizza topping. Combining all the savory flavors of pizza in a bite-sized, portable form - they are perfect for parties, game nights, or a quick snack.
INGREDIENTS
Wonton wrappers: Wonton wrappers are usually refrigerated near the cream cheese, tofu, or other specialty items. Keep them covered while assembling the rolls so the edges do not dry out.
Marinara sauce: Use 6 teaspoons total—½ teaspoon per roll. Choose a brand you like; product differences will affect the final nutrition.
Turkey pepperoni: I like to use Hormel Turkey Pepperoni which is 70% less fat than their regular pepperoni; and therefore, fewer calories and it tastes just as good!
Small mozzarella pearls: Use 12 small pearls—one per roll. If needed, substitute a small pinch of shredded mozzarella that fits inside each wrapper; exact nutrition will change.
Garlic butter: Combine 2 tablespoons (28 g) melted light butter with 1 teaspoon minced garlic (about 1 small-to-medium clove), ½ teaspoon dried parsley flakes, and ⅛ teaspoon table salt.
Water and cooking spray: Use water as needed to seal the wonton edges and a light, even coating of nonstick cooking spray before air frying.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Square wonton wrappers give this recipe its intended thin, crisp texture and easiest seal. Larger egg-roll wrappers would need to be cut and may cook differently.
Reheat it in the oven or air fryer just like how you would for a regular pizza roll. Spray a little bit of oil spray so that it doesn't stick.
Yes, but make sure to freeze it uncooked.
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F if the manufacturer’s instructions call for preheating. Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Put ½ teaspoon marinara sauce, 1 small mozzarella pearl, and 1 turkey pepperoni slice in the center, keeping the edges clean.
STEP 2
Moisten the wrapper edges lightly with water.
STEP 3
Roll from one corner around the filling.
STEP 4
Fold the side corners toward the center and press the seams firmly closed. Repeat to make 12 rolls.
STEP 5
Arrange the rolls seam-side down in a single layer in the air-fryer basket, leaving space between them and working in batches if needed. Lightly coat them with cooking spray. Air fry at 400°F for about 6 minutes, checking early, until the wrappers are golden and crisp and the cheese is melted. Air fryers vary, so add time only as needed.
STEP 6
While the rolls cook, stir together 2 tablespoons (28 g) melted light butter, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, ½ teaspoon dried parsley flakes, and ⅛ teaspoon table salt.
STEP 7
Brush or gently toss the hot rolls with the garlic-parsley butter. Let the filling cool for 1–2 minutes before serving.
