What are Pizza Rolls?
Pizza rolls are a type of snack food that consists of bite-sized pieces of pizza filling wrapped in a crispy, oven-baked or deep-fried outer layer. They are usually sold frozen and can be found in the frozen food section of most grocery stores.
The filling of pizza rolls typically includes tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and various pizza toppings, such as pepperoni pizza rolls, sausage, mushrooms, and onions. Some varieties of pizza rolls may also include other ingredients, such as chicken, bacon, or vegetables.
Why Should I cook Pizza Rolls in the Air Fryer instead of the Oven?
Making air fry pizza rolls has several advantages over cooking them in an oven. The air fryer makes traditionally fried foods crispy without having to be cooked in oil. Air fryers also make frozen snack foods cook faster than the traditional way of cooking them in the oven. Here are a few reasons why it is better to make this delicious snack in the air fryer instead of the oven:
- Faster Cooking Time. Pizza rolls cook much faster in an air fryer than in an oven. This is because air fryers use hot air to circulate around the food, cooking it evenly and quickly. In fact, air-fried pizza rolls can be ready in as little as 5 minutes in an air fryer, compared to the 12-15 minutes it takes in an oven.
- Crispy and crunchy Texture. Air fryers are excellent at creating crispy textures, and pizza rolls are no exception. The hot, circulating air in the air fryer helps to crisp up the outer layer of the pizza roll, creating delicious crispy air fryer pizza rolls that you just can’t get in an oven.
- Energy Efficiency. Because air fryers are smaller than ovens, they use less energy to cook food. This can save you money on your electricity bill in the long run.
- Convenience. Air fryers are incredibly easy to use and clean. They require little to no preheating time and are very straightforward to operate. Additionally, most air fryer baskets are dishwasher safe, making cleanup a breeze. This makes them the perfect after-school snack or a quick lunch when you are short on time.
