These keto air fryer pizza rolls wrap pepperoni inside a mozzarella, cream cheese, and almond-flour dough, then cook at 375°F (190°C) for about 6 minutes.

When searching for a keto snack, you're probably looking for something light, yet satisfying...not a smaller portion of a meal, but a food that is distinctly a snack. This delicious recipe checks all of those boxes in an easy, yummy, kid-friendly package!

The base dough from this recipe is a take on the popular fathead dough. This is the base of several other recipes I've created including my keto air fryer bagel and my keto air fryer rolls. I use it so often because it's SO good!

What will I need to make Keto Pizza Rolls?

I know I say this a lot, but the ingredients really are super simple. All you need is:

Quick heads-up: This post contains Amazon affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Almond Flour - I haven't tried substituting coconut flour yet, but please let me know if you do. Just remember that with coconut flour substitutions you typically only need about 1/3 as much as the original recipe calls for.

Mozzarella Cheese - I haven't tried any other cheeses, but I love the way mozzarella melts and how super low carb it is!

Cream Cheese

Sliced Pepperoni

Parchment Paper - This will help you roll it up easily!

Low Carb Marinara - My favorite low carb option is Rao's. It's a bit on the pricier side, but you can usually find it in your grocery store or Walmart cheaper than you can find it online.

This recipe is totally egg free and still completely delicious!

How to make keto pizza rolls in the air fryer

1. Melt the mozzarella and cream cheese with the almond flour, then stir until a dough forms.
2. Spread the cooled dough into a rectangle on parchment paper and arrange the pepperoni in rows.
3. Roll the dough into a log and slice it into 16 pieces.
4. Arrange the rolls in a buttered 6-inch cake pan, working in two batches when necessary.
5. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 6 minutes. Begin checking early because the cheese-rich dough can brown quickly.

Tips for rolls that hold together

• Let the melted dough cool until it is comfortable to handle, but shape it before it becomes stiff.
• Use parchment to help lift and roll the sticky dough. Do not put loose parchment in an empty air fryer basket.
• Slice the log as evenly as possible so the rolls finish together.
• Leave a little room between the rolls and avoid overfilling the pan.
• Check at the low end of the cooking time. Melted cheese can go from browned to burned quickly.

If the bottoms stay soft or the rolls brown unevenly, check the air-fryer crispness troubleshooting guide. The same mozzarella-based dough also appears in these keto air fryer bagels.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use coconut flour instead?

This recipe was developed with almond flour, and coconut flour absorbs liquid very differently. I would not make a direct substitution without testing a separate formula.

Why did my pizza rolls spread?

The dough may have been too warm, the slices may have been uneven, or the pan may have been overcrowded. Let the dough cool enough to handle and give the pieces room.

How should I store and reheat them?

Refrigerate cooled leftovers in a covered container. Reheat them in the air fryer in short intervals and check early so the cheese does not overbrown.
