Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons pizza sauce
• 20 slices pepperoni
• 2 mozzarella string cheese
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Step 1: Warm the tortillas by stacking them on a microwave-safe plate. Place a damp paper towel on top and microwave for 20 seconds until soft and warm. Alternatively, use a tortilla warmer if available.
2. Step 2: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and set the timer for 5 minutes.
3. Step 3: Cut each mozzarella string cheese in half lengthwise.
4. Step 4: Lay one tortilla flat. Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce near the bottom. Top with 5 slices of pepperoni, then place half a mozzarella stick on top. Carefully roll the tortilla to enclose the filling. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
5. Step 5: Brush the tops of each roll up lightly with olive oil to help them crisp up during cooking.
6. Step 6: Place the roll ups seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Cook for 5 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
7. Step 7: Remove carefully from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving. These roll ups are fantastic dipped in extra pizza sauce.

Tips & Variations

• For a vegetarian version, swap pepperoni for sautéed mushrooms or your favorite veggies.
• If you prefer extra gooey cheese, add some shredded mozzarella in addition to the string cheese.
• Brush with a garlic butter blend instead of olive oil for added flavor.
• Make smaller roll ups using smaller tortillas for bite-sized snacks.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven at 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes to regain crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make the roll ups soggy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use other types of tortillas?

Yes, you can use whole wheat, spinach, or gluten-free tortillas depending on your preference. Just ensure they are large enough to hold the fillings and roll up comfortably.

What if I don’t have an air fryer?

You can bake the roll ups in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 8–10 minutes or until golden and crispy. Place them seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Pizza Roll Ups Ingredients

• 4 8-inch flour tortillas
• 4 tablespoons pizza sauce
• 20 slices pepperoni
• 2 mozzarella string cheese sticks
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Warm the tortillas: Stack the 4 tortillas onto a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 20 seconds until the tortillas are warm and pliable, or alternatively use a tortilla warmer to soften them.
2. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and allow it to preheat for about 3-5 minutes, then set the timer for 5 minutes for cooking later.
3. Prepare the cheese: Cut each mozzarella string cheese in half lengthwise to create thinner strips that will fit nicely inside the roll ups.
4. Assemble the roll ups: Lay each tortilla flat and spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce near the bottom edge. Layer 5 slices of pepperoni on top of the sauce, then place the halved mozzarella cheese strips over the pepperoni. Carefully roll the tortilla from the bottom upwards to encase all fillings, forming a compact roll up. Repeat for all four tortillas.
5. Brush with olive oil: Lightly brush the tops of each roll up with olive oil to help them achieve a crispy, golden exterior during air frying.
6. Air fry the roll ups: Place the roll ups seam side down into the air fryer basket. Cook at 375°F for 5 minutes or until the roll ups turn golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
7. Cool and serve: Carefully remove the hot pizza roll ups from the air fryer. Let them cool slightly to avoid burns, then serve warm. These roll ups are delicious on their own or dipped in extra pizza sauce for added flavor.

Notes

• Warming the tortillas before assembling makes rolling easier and prevents cracking.
• Make sure to place the roll ups seam side down in the air fryer to prevent them from unrolling during cooking.
• You can customize the fillings by swapping pepperoni for other meats or veggies according to preference.
• Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe gluten-free if needed.
• Leftover roll ups can be reheated in the air fryer for a crispy finish.
