Servings and timing

This Air Fryer Pizza Roll Ups recipe serves approximately 4 people. Preparation takes about 10 minutes, and cooking time is around 5–7 minutes.

Variations

• Vegetarian Version: Substitute pepperoni with sliced mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers.
• Extra Cheese: Add an extra sprinkle of mozzarella or Parmesan inside for extra cheesiness.
• Spicy Roll Ups: Add a few crushed red pepper flakes inside the roll ups for a spicy kick.
• Different Meats: Use cooked sausage crumbles, ham, or turkey pepperoni for variety.
• Herb Flavor: Sprinkle Italian seasoning or garlic powder over the tortillas before rolling for extra flavor.

Storage/Reheating

Store any leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 3–4 minutes until heated through and crispy. Microwaving is an option but may result in softer tortillas.

FAQs

Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas?

Flour tortillas are recommended because they are softer and roll better without cracking.

What type of pizza sauce works best?

Any favorite store-bought or homemade pizza sauce will work well.

Can I freeze these roll ups?

Yes, freeze after assembling (before air frying) and cook straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.

How do I keep them from unrolling during cooking?

Roll them tightly and place them seam-side down in the air fryer; use a toothpick if needed.

Can I add more toppings inside?

Yes, but avoid overfilling to prevent the tortillas from tearing.

What cheese is best for melting?

Mozzarella cheese is ideal for that classic pizza flavor and great meltability.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, assemble them a few hours ahead and air fry just before serving.

How do I make them extra crispy?

Lightly brush the tortillas with olive oil before air frying for an extra crispy texture.

What dipping sauces go well with these roll ups?

Marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or garlic butter all pair wonderfully.

Can I use low-carb tortillas?

Yes, low-carb tortillas work fine and will slightly alter the texture but still taste great.
