Cut into small rectangles (about 2.5″ x 2.5″).

Add Fillings

Seal the Rolls

Fold the dough over the filling and pinch edges shut.

Gently roll into a ball or rectangle, making sure all seams are sealed (use water if needed).
-
-
Lightly Oil or Spray
-
Brush the tops with olive oil or spray with cooking spray.
-
Optional: Sprinkle with Italian seasoning or garlic powder.
-
-
Air Fry

Place rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer (leave space between).

Cool & Serve

📝 Tips:
-
Don’t overcrowd the basket — cook in batches if needed.
-
Use a bit of flour or water to help seal the dough if it’s sticky or popping open.
-
For a shortcut: Use egg roll wrappers or wonton wrappers instead of dough — just seal and air fry!
