Key Ingredients
Wonton wrappers — These can be found in the refrigerated aisle of the grocery store. They have been popularized enough that I’ve noticed them at regular grocery stores but if you can’t find them, try your local Asian grocer. I suggest double checking the one you purchase as traditionally, wonton wrappers are not vegan as it is made with eggs. Nasoya has vegan wonton wrappers.
Fillings — I picked vegan pepperoni, cheese, olives, and green peppers as my filling for my air fryer pizza rolls. You are more than welcomed to change things up and pick your own!
How to Make This Recipe
Step 1: Start by setting up a wrapping station with wonton wrapper covered with a clean dry tea towel, pizza sauce, mozzarella, pizza mix ins, and a small bowl of water. Place the wonton wrapper on a cutting board or a plate, spoon about 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce.
Step 2: Place approximately 2 teaspoon of mozzarella on top of the pizza sauce.
Step 3: Add the pepperoni to the wrapper.
Step 4: Add a little bit of the rest of the toppings to the middle of the wrapper.
Step 5: Dip a finger in the bowl of water, and run along the edge of the wrapper and fold in half to form a triangle. Press down on the edges to seal it.
Step 6: Place it in the air fryer for 3 minutes at 360 F. Then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Garnish the air fryer pizza rolls with grated parmesan and Italian seasoning
Expert Tips
It is easier to wrap the wonton wrapper when the pepperoni is cut up.
Do not over-stuff the wonton wrappers or the air fryer pizza rolls will leak or burst open.
If you don’t need these to be vegan, feel free to use regular pepperoni and shredded cheese. However, I suggest using a high-quality pepperoni to avoid filler ingredients.
Recipe FAQs
Most wonton wrappers are not gluten-free. You’ll have to purchase speciality wonton wrappers or make your own with gluten-free flour for it to be gluten-free.
You can! You can either fill these ahead of time and keep them wrapped in the fridge for up to 2 days or you can air fry them then transfer them to an air tight container for up to 4 days. Simply add them back into the air fryer for a couple of minutes to reheat.
You can freeze these air fryer pizza rolls before or after air frying them. Just be sure to store them in an air tight container before freezing them. If uncooked, air fry them from frozen with an extra couple of minutes.
Feel free to use anything you would top a regular pizza with! Try mushrooms, ham, bacon bits, onions, basil, artichoke, and more. Avoid toppings that are high in water content as you don’t want the liquid to make your air fryer pizza rolls soggy. Alternatively, you can cook your toppings beforehand to make sure the water has been cooked out, like spinach, for example!
