Ingredients & Tools You’ll Need

To get started, you’ll need just a few simple ingredients: pizza rolls, thin sliced bacon, and a sweet and spicy seasoning to really kick things up a notch. I like to go a little heavy on the seasoning for that extra punch of flavor. You’ll also need a pair of scissors to cut the bacon and either an air fryer or a cookie sheet for cooking.

No fancy gadgets are required here, but having an air fryer makes things a bit easier and faster. If you don’t have one, no worries-your oven will work just fine. Just make sure to keep an eye on those rolls to get that crispy bacon finish we all love!

How To Make It

Making Bacon Wrapped Pizza Rolls is as enjoyable as eating them. The process is straightforward, and you’ll be snacking in no time. Let’s break it down into two parts: preparation and cooking.

Preparation

First, let’s get everything ready. Start by cutting your bacon slices in half; this gives you just the right amount to wrap around each pizza roll. Once that’s done, grab your pizza rolls and start wrapping the bacon around them.

Make sure to tuck the ends of the bacon underneath the roll to keep it from unraveling during cooking.

Now, sprinkle a little of that sweet and spicy seasoning over the bacon-wrapped rolls. This step really enhances the flavor, so don’t skip it! Once everything is wrapped and seasoned, place the rolls seam side down on your air fryer basket or a greased cookie sheet.

Cooking

Here’s where the magic happens. Preheat your air fryer or oven to 390°F. If you’re using an air fryer, set it to 10 minutes and then flip those rolls halfway through.

You’ll want to keep an eye on them as they cook; you should hear that satisfying sizzle and see the bacon start to crisp up.

For those using the oven, it’s the same deal-bake for about 10 minutes, give them a flip, and then cook for another 5 to 10 minutes until the bacon is crispy to your liking. You’ll know they’re done when the bacon is golden brown and you can smell that heavenly aroma wafting through your kitchen.
