Frequently Asked Questions

Why do pizza rolls burst open in the air fryer?

The filling heats faster than the wrapper. Shaking the basket and avoiding high temperatures helps reduce bursting.

Do I need to thaw pizza rolls first?

No. Cook them straight from frozen for best texture and food safety.

Can I stack pizza rolls in the air fryer?

Stacking prevents even airflow. Always cook in a single layer for the crispiest results.

How do I keep them extra crispy?

Use a light spray of oil and avoid overcrowding. Serve immediately after cooking.
