# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup shredded cooked chicken breast, 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup pizza sauce, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional), 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix well to create the hearty filling for your Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls: Protein-Packed Snack.
02 -
Lay out 24 count wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of the pizza filling in the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges with a little water, then fold two opposite corners to meet, forming a triangle. Press firmly to seal, ensuring no filling escapes.
03 -
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This ensures even cooking and helps achieve that desired crispiness for your Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls: Protein-Packed Snack. Do not overcrowd the basket; you'll likely cook in batches for best results.
04 -
Lightly spray the assembled pizza rolls with 1 tbsp olive oil spray. Arrange a single layer of the prepared rolls in the preheated air fryer basket, ensuring there's space between each one for optimal air circulation and crisping.
05 -
Air fry the rolls for 6-8 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy. The exact cooking time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model. Repeat with remaining batches until all rolls are cooked.
06 -
Carefully remove the hot Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls: Protein-Packed Snack from the air fryer. Immediately sprinkle with 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese for a delicious finishing touch. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping, if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
Make Ahead Tip: You can assemble these pizza rolls up to 2 hours in advance. Store them uncovered in the refrigerator on a baking sheet to prevent sogginess, then air fry as directed.
02 -
Flavor Variations: Feel free to customize the filling! Add finely diced pepperoni, bell peppers, or mushrooms. For a vegetarian option, swap chicken for cooked crumbled plant-based ground or extra veggies.
03 -
Storage & Reheating: Leftover pizza rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes until crispy again.
04 -
Dipping Sauce: While delicious on their own, these rolls pair wonderfully with a side of warm marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or even a spicy sriracha mayo for an extra kick.
