MSIH: Air Fryer Pizza Roll-Ups

My sis's review of air-fryer pizza roll-ups, in her words - recipe and my notes to follow:


Pizza Roll up/Pizza Quesadilla? I don’t know what she is calling it but it was darn good!

Well I just jumped right to the last page of the book, let me go back to the start.

 

We are in the middle of a busy high school soccer season.  Know what makes high school soccer even better? Happy Hour first!! Especially when its 33 degrees and windy. 

My sister came over before soccer to have a quick happy hour (before you judge us please know it was a Friday- does that make it better?). Anyway, she brought these with her as a pre game snack.

 

She made several that were rolled up- some with and some without pepperoni (the husband is Catholic so no meat on Friday during lent).  He even liked the ones without meat!  The teenage boyfriend also tried one and he loved it as well. He’s a teenage boy so not sure that’s a booming endorsement but whatever. 

 

The next day my husband ate the leftover one that was NOT in roll up form, it was a pizza quesadilla.  Same ingredients but not rolled.  He liked that as well.  Cooking these in the air fryer though I have to say I preferred it in a roll.  It ended up being cooked all the way through without the outsides getting too cooked.  In quesadilla form the edges got quite crunchy while the inside remained soft.  Still tasted delicious though!!

 

I would recommend this as an after school snack, dish to pass for a party, or any other appetizer.  I wouldn’t really think its enough for dinner but maybe if you added salad?  But who wants to fill up on salad when there is pizza roll ups to eat?


  • 4 (8 inch) flour tortillas
  • 4 T. pizza sauce
  • 20 slices pepperoni
  • 2 mozzarella string cheese sticks
  • 1 t. olive oil

Preheat the air fryer to 375'. 

Cut the string cheese in half lengthwise.

Lay the tortillas on your work surface. Spread a scant tablespoon of sauce all over each tortilla - if you use too much sauce it'll just squeeze out when you roll it up. Place 5 pepperoni slices along one edge, top with the halved cheese stick, roll up. 

Place seam side down in your air fryer basket. Brush with olive oil and cook for 5 minutes watching that they don't burn. Serve with pizza sauce for dipping if desired.

Jill here - these are unbelievably easy to make and are great! I forgot to brush with olive oil and they turned out crispy and browned without it. I only had 4 small tortillas on hand, which is why I also made some quesadilla/pizza ones - spread a little sauce on 2 tortillas, add pepperoni and cheese (or whatever toppings you want) and cook in the air fryer preheated to 375' for 5 minutes or until brown and the cheese melts. I used low-carb tortillas that are soft and easy to roll, if you use regular tortillas and they want to crack when you roll them just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds and that should help.
