Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: You can use any type of cheese you prefer, such as cheddar or pepper jack, and switch out pepperoni for other proteins or vegetables, like cooked sausage, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
- Optional Variations: Experiment with different sauces for dipping, like ranch dressing or garlic butter, and consider adding herbs or spices directly into the filling for an extra kick.
- Storage or Reheating Tips: Store leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain that crispy texture.
