Ingredients
Makes 12 egg rolls

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup mini pepperoni slices
¼ cup finely chopped green bell pepper
¼ cup finely chopped black olives
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Olive oil spray
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Assemble Egg Rolls
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface.
Place 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce in the center of the wrapper.
Top with:
1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella cheese
A few mini pepperoni slices
1 teaspoon chopped green bell pepper
1 teaspoon chopped black olives
Sprinkle with a pinch of Italian seasoning.
Step 2: Wrap and Seal
Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling.
Fold in the sides and roll up tightly.
Seal the edge with a little water.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 3: Preheat Air Fryer
Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Step 4: Cook Egg Rolls
Lightly spray the egg rolls with olive oil spray.
Place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket (cook in batches if needed).
Cook for 10–12 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Serve
Serve hot with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
Tips for Perfect Pizza Egg Rolls
💡 Don't overfill – Too much filling can cause them to burst
💡 Seal edges well – Use water to ensure wrappers stick
💡 Don't skip the oil spray – Helps achieve that golden crispiness
💡 Cook in a single layer – Prevents sticking and ensures even cooking
💡 Let them cool slightly – Filling is very hot when first removed

Meat Lovers
Add cooked sausage, bacon, or ham
