🍕 How to Air Fry Totino’s Pizza Rolls
Here are the step-by-step Totino's pizza rolls air fryer directions:
- Place 12-18 Totino’s pizza rolls in a single layer in your air fryer basket or tray. You do not need cooking oil spray. (Air fryer oven: use top rack position.)
- Air fry pizza rolls for 8 minutes at 390F (200C). Shake or flip the pizza rolls halfway through cooking time (i.e., after 4 minutes). Fully cooked pizza rolls should reach an internal temp of 165F (74C).
- Important! Pizza rolls are VERY HOT coming out of the air fryer. Let them cool for at least 2-3 minutes before eating, and bite into them carefully. Serve with warm marinara sauce or another dipping sauce.
Tip: If making Amy’s brand pizza rolls, mist the air fryer basket and pizza rolls with cooking spray before air frying. I found this brand of pizza rolls crisps up better with the added oil. Use non-aerosol cooking spray to protect the finish of your air fryer basket.
The equipment you need to make air fryer frozen pizza rolls is a meat thermometer and an air fryer. Nuwave, Ninja Foodi, Kalorik, Breville, Philips, Cosori air fryer or whatever brand you have should work. However, you may need to adjust the cooking times if you use a different air fryer than I’m using.
I made Totino’s pizza rolls in the Ninja air fryer this time. I’ve also used these pizza roll instructions with an air fryer oven. You may need to cook multiple batches if you use a small air fryer.

FAQs
To keep air fryer pizza rolls from exploding, be careful not to overcook them. Since air fryers all cook a little differently, it’s important to watch the food carefully whenever you try a new air fryer recipe. Using a lower temp (375F) may help if exploding pizza rolls are a recurring problem for you.
I don’t think pizza rolls taste better in the air fryer vs the oven. However, you can cook pizza rolls in the air fryer in less time than it takes to preheat the oven. The shorter cooking time makes the air fryer the best way to cook frozen pizza rolls in my book.
I don’t preheat the air fryer for cooking frozen pizza rolls. If you do preheat your air fryer, it may shorten the cooking times I’ve provided.
Totino’s recommends cooking pizza rolls in the oven for 11-16 minutes at 425F, 375 is too low. However, you can deep fry pizza rolls in oil at 375F for 2-3 minutes.
To make pizza rolls crispy, cook them in an air fryer or oven for the allotted cooking time, not the microwave. Also, make sure you’re giving them space in the air fryer so the air can circulate on all sides.
Yes, you can use a pizza stone in the air fryer if it will fit. Most regular air fryers can’t fit a pizza stone, but you may be able to use an air fryer oven.

💭 Expert Tips from a Dietitian
This is a level 3 recipe (weight maintenance and active lifestyles). Remember that it’s the big picture that counts when it comes to diet. If you mostly eat nutrient rich foods but occasionally splurge on a serving of store-bought pizza rolls, it’s probably fine. My general recommendation is to try to get at least 90% of your calories from healthful choices, with 10% (or less!) for treats. The right balance that composes a “healthy diet” will look a little different for each of us. If you’d like to try making a healthy pizza roll, here’s a homemade option that’s whole grain and protein-packed. A word of warning though: they’re a lot of work (and still fairly high calorie)!
😋 Pizza Rolls Recipe
For Homemade Pizza Roll Wrappers:- 3 cups white whole wheat flour
- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons water
- 8 ounces Italian chicken sausage (227 grams; raw, no casings)
- 2 ounces chopped turkey pepperoni (57 grams)
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 6 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (170 grams)
- cooking oil spray of choice
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
- fresh basil for garnish
- 1 cup warmed pizza sauce (for dipping)
How to Make Pizza Rolls
- Stir wrapper ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl, then knead the pizza dough with clean hands. Make sure all of the flour is incorporated into the dough. It will take several minutes.
- Divide the dough into 32 small balls. Divide the dough in half, then dividing those pieces in half, etc. until you get 32 pieces.
- Line a cast-iron tortilla press with plastic sandwich-size baggies (to prevent the dough from sticking to the tortilla press).
- Press each small ball of dough in the tortilla press TWICE. Press it once, rotate the circle of dough, and press again.
- Each circle of dough should be 3-3.5 inches (7.6-8.9 cm) in diameter. Layer plastic between each of the dough circles after they are pressed. Work on the pizza rolls filling immediately after finishing with the wrappers so they do not dry out.
- Cook the sausage in the cast iron skillet over medium heat until it is browned. It will take about 10 minutes. Crumble the sausage with a spatula while it cooks.
- Stir the pepperoni, marinara sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, and garlic powder into the sausage.
- Let it cool, and then stir in the mozzarella cheese.
- Put about one tablespoon of filling in the center of a wrapper. Fold the right side of the wrapper over the filling, then fold the left side. Fold the top of the wrapper over the filling, tucking any filling that is spilling over inside the dough.
- Finally, fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, completely sealing the filling inside. Tuck the sides in a bit more if needed. Fold and fill all of the pizza roll wrappers.
- Pack the filling into the rolls as much as possible without overfilling. Cheese will ooze out while air frying if there are holes in the wrappers.
How to Cook Pizza Rolls in Air Fryer
- Put the pizza rolls in a (non-touching) single layer on your air fryer trays. If you have a small air fryer, you will need to cook them in batches.
- Whisk an egg and brush it all over the tops of the pizza rolls with a pastry brush.
- Air fry the rolls for 5 minutes at 360°F (182°C). Then switch the position of the trays in the air fryer oven and cook the rolls for 5 minutes more.
- Next, flip all of the pizza rolls over and spray them with cooking oil spray. Switch the position of the trays in the air fryer and cook for another 5 minutes at 360°F (182°C).
- Switch the position of the trays in the air fryer oven one last time. Air fry the pizza rolls for 5 final minutes at 360°F (182°C). (That's a total cooking time of 20 minutes. Small air fryer baskets may have a total cook time of 10 minutes or less.)
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the warm rolls and garnish with fresh chopped basil. Let them cool a bit before you enjoy them dipped in warm pizza sauce.
