Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Wonton Wrappers
  • 1/2 cup Thick Marinara or Pizza Sauce (120g)
  • 1 cup Shredded Low-Moisture Mozzarella Cheese (112g)

Instructions

Let’s assemble these little bites of happiness. Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have perfect pizza rolls in no time.

1. Get Your Filling Station Ready: First, set up a small assembly line. On a clean counter or large cutting board, place your bowl of pizza sauce, your shredded mozzarella, the mini pepperoni, and the small bowl with your beaten egg wash. This makes the process smooth and easy.

2. Fill the Wrappers: Lay a few wonton wrappers out on your work surface. In the center of each wrapper, place about 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce, a small pinch of mozzarella cheese, and 3-4 mini pepperonis. It’s very important not to overfill them, or they might burst open while cooking!

3. Seal Them Tight: Dip your finger or a small pastry brush into the beaten egg wash and moisten all four edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle. Press the edges down firmly with your fingers to create a tight seal. You want to make sure there are no gaps for the filling to leak out.

4. Prepare for Frying: Lightly brush the entire outside of each sealed pizza roll with the remaining egg wash. This is the secret to getting that perfect, shiny, golden-brown finish. If you like, you can sprinkle a tiny bit of Italian seasoning on top of each one now.

5. Preheat Your Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating helps the pizza rolls start cooking the second they go in, which makes them extra crispy.

6. Time to Air Fry! Lightly spray your air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Place the pizza rolls in the basket in a single layer, making sure they aren’t touching or overcrowded. You may need to cook them in two batches.

7. Cook to Crispy Perfection: Air fry for 6 to 8 minutes, pausing to flip them over halfway through the cooking time. They are done when they are a deep golden brown, puffed up, and look wonderfully crispy.

8. Cool and Enjoy: Carefully remove the pizza rolls from the air fryer—the filling will be extremely hot! Let them cool on a plate for at least a couple of minutes before you take that first delicious bite.
