Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air-Fried Pizza Egg Rolls.
Step 1
Start by preheating your air fryer to a cozy 400°F (200°C) following the manufacturer's guidelines.
Step 2
While it warms up, grab some fresh mozzarella cheese and slice it into sticks, each about 6 inches long—these will be the gooey stars of your dish! Next, take an egg roll wrapper and lay it flat on your countertop, positioning it like a diamond.
Step 3
On the bottom third of the wrapper, spread a teaspoon of marinara sauce, then place one mozzarella stick right on top, followed by a sprinkle of two tablespoons of mini pepperoni for that extra burst of flavor.
Step 4
Now, let’s wrap it up! Fold the bottom point of the wrapper over the filling, tucking it snugly towards the center.
Step 5
Then, fold in the left side, followed by the right side, creating a neat envelope shape.
Step 6
Roll the egg roll up gently until just the top point is left exposed.
Step 7
To seal it, brush a little water on that top point and fold it down—if needed, add a bit more water to the edges to ensure everything stays together.
Step 8
Repeat this delightful process for the rest of your egg rolls.
Step 9
Once they’re all wrapped, give each one a light brush of olive oil, then sprinkle them with Italian seasoning and a dash of garlic salt for that irresistible aroma.
Step 10
Before cooking, lightly coat the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 11
Place the egg rolls seam side down in the basket, making sure they have enough space to breathe and crisp up beautifully.
Step 12
Lower the air fryer temperature to 360°F (180°C) and let them cook for 8 minutes, flipping them halfway through to achieve that perfect golden-brown finish.
Step 13
When they’re done, serve these delicious egg rolls hot, accompanied by the remaining marinara sauce for dipping.
Step 14
Enjoy every cheesy, crispy bite!.
