Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Sauce Mixture
- 1 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce, divided
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Cheese and Filling
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 ½ cups mini pepperoni, thinly sliced or chopped
Other
- 20 square wonton wrappers
- Cooking oil spray
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce mixture: In a small mixing bowl, combine ¾ cup of pizza sauce with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside ¼ cup for serving later.
- Mix the cheeses: In a medium bowl, combine grated cheddar, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses. Mix evenly, chopping any large pieces for consistent distribution.
- Assemble the rolls: Prepare a bowl of water to moisten wonton edges for sealing. Take one wonton wrapper and place 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce mixture in the center. Add 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture and 3-4 slices of mini pepperoni on top.
- Seal the wrappers: Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold each corner over the filling to form an envelope, pressing edges firmly to seal. Repeat for all wrappers.
- Cook in the air fryer: Arrange the pizza rolls in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Lightly spray them with cooking oil spray. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Serve the pizza rolls warm with the reserved ¼ cup pizza sauce mixture as a dipping sauce.
Notes
- Deep fry alternative: You can deep fry these pizza rolls in oil at 350°F until golden and puffy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Storage: Store leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- Reheating: Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 350°F for 4-6 minutes until warm and crispy.
- Freezing: Freeze assembled pizza rolls in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2-3 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.
