FAQs

Can I cook a large batch at once?

It’s best to cook in a single layer for even crisping. Cook in batches if needed.

Do I need to thaw pizza rolls before air frying?

No, cook them straight from frozen.

Why did some rolls burst open?

This can happen if they’re overcooked. Try cooking for slightly less time next time.

What if my air fryer model varies?

Check doneness early on—air fryer power can vary slightly by model.

Can I use foil in the air fryer?

Yes, but make sure it doesn’t block airflow and is safely secured.

Are air-fried pizza rolls healthier?

They use little to no oil, making them a lighter alternative to deep frying.
