Reheating Your Pizza Rolls

Got some leftover pizza rolls calling your name? They're every bit as lovable the next day if you reheat them just right. Let's look at three ways to bring those rolls back to life—each with its own perks.

Oven Method

Using the oven's like giving your pizza rolls a warm hug, keeping them crispy and evenly heated.

1. Fire up your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Spread those pizza rolls on a baking sheet, not overlapping.
3. Pop them in for 10-12 minutes until they’re golden and hot.

Microwave Method

Pressed for time? The microwave’s a speedy friend—but watch out, you might lose a bit of that glorious crunch.

1. Grab a microwave-safe plate and line up your pizza rolls.
2. Zap on high for 1-2 minutes; keep an eye so they don't become molten lava.
3. Let them chill out for a minute—they're hot!

Method	Time	What to Expect
Oven	10-12 minutes	Good crunch, perfect heat
Microwave	1-2 minutes	Fast but a bit less crispy

Air Fryer Method

The air fryer’s a champ for quick heat-ups while still keeping the texture game strong.

1. Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
2. Lay the pizza rolls in the basket, no piling up.
3. Heat for 5-7 minutes, give 'em a shake halfway to spread the heat love.

With these tricks, you get to enjoy your pizza rolls again without any compromise. Hungry for more ideas on leftovers? Check out our guide on making the most of leftover pizza rolls.
