Directions
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).

- In the center of each dough square, place a small amount of mozzarella cheese, a spoonful of pizza sauce, and a few pepperoni slices.
- Fold the dough over to create a pocket and seal the edges by pressing them with a fork.
- Brush the tops of the pizza rolls with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange the pizza rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer; you may need to cook them in batches.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and crispy.

Tips & Variations
- Ingredient substitutions: Use different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack, and try adding vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for a healthier option!
- Optional variations: Swap out the pepperoni for cooked sausage or peppered salami to change up the flavors.
- Storage and reheating tips: Store leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to restore their crispiness.
