Can you put pizza rolls in an air fryer?
If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is, but not in this case. Pizza rolls and air fryers are a perfect match since frozen food has already been put together. That means you can cook pizza rolls right from the freezer.
There’s no prep time and no need to thaw them out. They can go from freezer to air fryer to kitchen table in under 10 minutes.

How to cook pizza rolls in an air fryer
First thing’s first, the pizza rolls themselves: we like to cook around 20 at a time. That isn’t because we can’t eat more in one sitting – it’s because we could… but we shouldn’t… but we absolutely would.
More importantly, keeping to 20 or less means the frozen pizza rolls can be laid out in a single layer without touching, thus ensuring a crispy finish once they’re done. It’s easy enough to do multiple batches should you experience a hankering for more.
Here’s our effortless pizza roll air fryer instructions:
- Spread pizza rolls across the air fryer basket. Cooking spray may affect the flavor and isn’t required since most air fryer baskets are non-stick. If you don’t have a non-stick basket, use a pastry brush to apply a light layer of olive oil.
- Cook at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 6 to 8 minutes, giving the basket a shake halfway through cooking.
- Remove when golden and crispy on both sides. Not all air fryers are the same, so your pizza rolls may need an extra minute or two to achieve that finish.
- Once cooked, remove from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before eating. Take your first bite with caution, as lava-hot pizza sauce is waiting inside.
What’s the right air fryer temp for pizza rolls?
380 degrees is the ideal temperature for making Totino’s pizza rolls in an air fryer.
Is preheating necessary? Not really, but some people find it helps cook food more evenly. Just resist the temptation to crank up the heat in a bid to decrease cooking time. Liquids inside will expand too quickly and burst through – even if that doesn’t happen, you won’t get the same crispy finish and gooey center that make pizza rolls such popular snacks for all ages.
How long does it take to cook Totino’s pizza rolls in an air fryer?
You should only be looking at around 6 to 8 minutes to cook Totino’s pizza rolls in an air fryer from frozen. If you need to crowd them together, expect to add a few minutes of cooking time.

Dipping sauces for pizza rolls
Pizza rolls don’t need sauce to be tasty, but a little dip can sure add an extra dimension to your snacking pleasure.
There’s no wrong answer here. Personal preference and all that. However, ranch, barbecue, salsa, and garlic butter are natural dipping sauce accompaniments, so here’s a quick recipe for each.
Ranch:
- 1 Cup Plain Ranch Dressing
- 1/2 Teaspoon Chili Powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
Spicy barbecue:
- 1 Cup Barbecue Sauce
- 2 Teaspoons Chopped Chipotle Chiles in Adobo Sauce
- 4 Teaspoons Chopped Fresh Cilantro
Mango Salsa:
- 1 Cup Mango, Finely Chopped
- 1 Cup Old El Paso® Thick ‘n Chunky Salsa
- 1/4 Cup Fresh Cilantro, Chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Lime Juice
Garlic butter:
- 4 Tablespoons Melted Unsalted Butter
- 3 Cloves of Garlic, Minced
- 1 Tablespoon of Parsley
- ½ Teaspoon of Red Pepper Flakes
- Salt
Simply mix the ingredients for each in a small bowl, then cover and refrigerate for an hour until flavors are blended.
