- Spread pizza sauce over the dough, again leaving about 1 inch border free.
- Top with cheese, then arrange pepperoni in a single layer.
- Staring at one end, roll the dough tightly to form a log with the seam side down.
- Brush with remaining olive oil, then sprinkle with leftover seasonings and Parmesan cheese.
- Cut into 1 inch slices using a pizza cutter. Reshape if needed.
- Spray the air fryer basket with oil.
- Place 5-6 pizza rolls in the basket leaving space in between.
- Spray tops with oil.

Tips & Tricks
- Don’t overfill – Too much cheese or sauce can make the rolls hard to seal.
- Roll tightly – A snug roll ensures the filling stays in place while cooking.
- Preheat your air fryer – This helps the pizza rolls cook evenly and crisp up nicely.
- Use parchment paper – If your air fryer tends to stick, a small piece of parchment can help (just be sure it’s air fryer-safe!).
- Let them cool slightly – The cheese inside gets HOT, so give them a minute before taking a bite!
