Table of Contents

Ingredients

  • 10 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni, chopped
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Cooking spray
  • Marinara sauce, for dipping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, pizza sauce, chopped pepperoni, diced bell peppers (if using), and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.
  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape). Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll the wrapper tightly away from you, sealing the top edge with a bit of water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
  4. Air Fry the Egg Rolls: Lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray to help them crisp up. Place the egg rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the egg rolls are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve: Remove the egg rolls from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.

Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Pizza Egg Rolls

  • Don’t Overfill: Be careful not to overfill the egg rolls, as this can cause them to burst open during cooking.
  • Seal Tightly: Make sure to seal the edges of the wrappers tightly with water to prevent the filling from leaking out.
  • Don’t Overcrowd the Air Fryer: Arrange the egg rolls in a single layer with space between them to ensure even cooking and crispiness.

Recipe Variations

  • Vegetarian Pizza Egg Rolls: Omit the pepperoni and add extra vegetables like mushrooms, onions, and olives for a vegetarian version.
  • Hawaiian Pizza Egg Rolls: Add chopped pineapple and ham to the filling for a Hawaiian twist.
  • Spicy Pizza Egg Rolls: Add a few dashes of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the filling for some extra heat.
