What To Dip Pizza Rolls In

One of my kids’ favorite snacks is pizza bites, which are delicious little mini pizza pockets. And they love to share them with friends who come over. But when they wanted them, in the midst of a heat wave this summer, there was no way I was turning on the oven! So I made these Air Fryer Pizza Bites instead. Making frozen pizza bites in the air fryer is the perfect way to cook pizza rolls. You don’t have to dirty a sheet pan, it’s quick (in just minutes) and easy, won’t heat up your house, and uses less electricity! I have also included an easy dipping sauce for these pizza rolls that uses ingredients you already have on hand.

Making pizza bites in the air fryer is an easy and quick snack, the perfect after-school snack, or side dish for kids, and the ideal finger food for movie nights, as well as parties and gatherings. We always make Air Fryer Pizza Bites part of our New Years’ eve finger food spread because of how quick and easy they are to make!

🥘Ingredients

You only need 2 ingredients to make crispy air fryer pizza rolls and yes, one of them is spray oil (not PAM- see Top Tip for explanation) and a bag of pizza rolls.

Some people get air fryers and think they no longer need oil, but an air fryer doesn’t eliminate the need for oil, just the need to use a lot of it. Spraying a little oil on your food will yield the best results because it prevents the food from getting dry and gives it a golden brown finish.

  • frozen pizza bites (aka pizza rolls)

  • Pizza Roll Dip ingredients (optional): sour cream, ranch dressing, parmesan cheese, green onion

*See recipe card for quantities.

🔪Instructions

How to cook pizza bites in the air fryer (the cooking process is very simple):

Dip: Mix dip ingredients together in a separate bowl and serve.

HINT: Remove with silicone-tipped tongs to avoid damaging the surface of your air fryer.

📖Variations & Substitutions.

  • Spray oil – it’s best to use avocado, canola, or olive oil spray because they have a high smoke point and neutral flavor.
  • Pizza bites (aka pizza rolls) – you can use any brand of frozen pizza rolls that you prefer. You could also use homemade pizza rolls instead.
  • Green onion – you can use chives instead of green onion
  • Sour cream – you can use regular, light, or fat-free sour cream
  • Ranch dressing – you can use Litehouse brand (which I use) or your favorite brand of ranch dressing (but don’t use the packets of dry ranch dressing unless you add a lot more sour cream)
  • Add-ins – add a little Italian seasoning, if you wish
  • Spicy – if you want to spice up the dip, add a little sriracha sauce or crushed red pepper

🥗 What to serve with pizza bites

Pizza bites are a great snack on their own, but they go great with the pizza roll dipping sauce included in this recipe (it’s my favorite dipping sauce for pizza rolls), or try them with Garlic Mayo Dipping Sauce, marinara sauce, or your favorite sauce. Then serve carrot sticks on the side! If you really want to indulge, serve these crispy pizza rolls with french fries or sweet potato fries.

🌡️Storage

Store leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Store the dip in a separate sealed container for up to days. These ingredients do not stand up well to freezing.
