If you're looking for things to make with your kids this summer - or a new snack to try in their lunchbox when you send them off to summer clubs - these air fryer pizza rolls are just as easy to make as they are tasty.
If you've invested in one of the best air fryers in recent months then you'll probably already know that there's a seemingly infinite number of foods you can cook in an air fryer. It feels like every day another TikTok user comes up with a genius new air fryer recipe - and thank goodness they do, because cooking for the family is now a whole lot easier.
Our latest favourite air fryer hack comes from Lorraine - aka healthyfitbella on TikTok - who's discovered that you only need four ingredients to make easy pizza rolls in your air fryer, and she promises they're "great to make with the kids this summer".
Using just bread, pizza sauce, mozzarella and pepperoni, Lorraine filmed herself making the simple snack in less than four minutes. She says, "If you're looking for something really simple and really tasty to make with the kids this summer, either for lunch at home or to pack for summer camps in their lunchbox, then these pizza rolls are perfect."
The video has earned over five million views and 340,000 likes for the easy recipe, to which Lorraine adds, "Try not to eat them yourself, because they are so good!"
