Ingredients
Pizza Rolls
- 1 bag frozen pizza rolls (any brand)
Garlic Butter Toss
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, finely minced (or 1 tsp garlic paste)
- 1–2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- ¼ tsp Italian seasoning
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh cracked black pepper
Finishing
- ¼–⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese (fine, powder-style)
- Extra parsley or basil, for garnish
- Optional: hot honey drizzle
Optional Dipping Sauces
- Warm marinara
- Garlic aioli
- Basil pesto ranch
- Spicy vodka sauce
Instructions
- Air fry the pizza rolls:
Preheat air fryer to 380°F. Cook pizza rolls for 6–8 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden and crisp. - Make the garlic butter:
In a small skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium-low heat.
Add minced garlic and cook for 30–45 seconds, until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in parsley, crushed red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. - Toss to coat:
Add the hot pizza rolls directly into the skillet and toss until fully coated in the garlic butter.
(Or pour the garlic butter into a large bowl and toss the pizza rolls in it.) - Add the grated Parmesan:
While still hot, sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the buttery pizza rolls. Toss so the fine cheese melts slightly and clings to each piece. - Serve:
Transfer to a platter. Garnish with extra herbs and a drizzle of hot honey if desired.
Serve warm with marinara, garlic aioli, pesto ranch, or vodka sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For a luxe twist, add a small splash of lemon juice or white truffle oil to the garlic butter.
- Great for game nights, sleepovers, parties, and adult snack boards.
