Description
Air Fryer Pizza Pinwheel Bites are a crispy, cheesy, and customizable snack made with crescent roll dough, pizza sauce, mozzarella, and your favorite toppings, air-fried to perfection.
Ingredients
1 package of crescent roll dough (8 oz)
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Olive oil spray
Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Unroll the crescent roll dough into one large rectangle and smooth out the seams with a rolling pin.
- Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, then add sliced pepperoni and black olives (if using). Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log shape and slice into 1-inch wide pinwheels.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Arrange the pinwheels in a single layer in the basket, ensuring space between them for air circulation.
- Air fry at 375°F for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Check near the end to prevent overcooking.
- Remove from the air fryer, garnish with fresh basil, and serve with additional pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
Customize your pinwheels with other fillings like vegetables or different meats.
For extra crispiness, lightly spray with olive oil before air frying.
For a cheesy twist, try adding extra types of cheese such as cheddar or provolone.
