Let’s dive into why these are about to become your new favorite!
Why Will You Love This Recipe?
- It’s a fun twist on pizza. These rolls combine the classic pizza flavors you love with the crispy, light texture of rice paper. They’re perfect for when you’re craving pizza but want something a little different.
- Quick and easy to make. You can have these rolls ready in under 30 minutes, making them ideal for busy weeknights. No need for complicated dough or long prep times!
- Totally customizable. Swap in your favorite toppings or whatever you have in your fridge. It’s a great way to use up leftovers while keeping things delicious.
Recipe Variations
- Veggie-packed version. Load up with diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for a healthier spin. Just make sure to chop veggies finely so they cook evenly.
- Spicy kick. Add some chopped jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the tomato sauce. It gives the rolls a nice heat that pairs perfectly with the cheese.
- Meat-lover’s delight. Toss in crumbled bacon, or even some shredded chicken. Mix and match meats to make it as hearty as you want.
Tools You’ll Need
- Wide, shallow bowl. This is key for soaking the rice paper sheets evenly in the egg mixture. A pie dish or large plate works great.
- Air fryer or oven with a fan setting. These ensure the rolls get that perfect crispy texture. A baking sheet with parchment paper is a must for easy cleanup.
- Spatula or tongs. You’ll need these to carefully handle the delicate rice paper rolls without tearing them. A thin spatula works best for transferring to the baking sheet.
FAQ
Can I Freeze These Pizza Rolls?
You can freeze them after assembling but before baking. Place them on a tray in the freezer until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months; bake from frozen, adding 5-7 minutes to the cooking time.
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store any cooked rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.
How Long Do They Last?
Cooked rolls are best eaten within 2 days if refrigerated. Freezing uncooked rolls extends their life to about 2 months, as mentioned above.
What Should I Serve with These Rolls?
These pair great with a simple green salad or some marinara sauce for dipping. They’re also awesome with a side of garlic bread for a full pizza-night vibe.
Are These Suitable for Specific Diets?
The recipe isn’t naturally keto, vegan, or paleo due to the cheese, eggs, and rice paper, but you can swap Gouda for vegan cheese and use gluten-free sausage to make it gluten-free. Always check ingredient labels to ensure they fit your dietary needs.
Can I Make These Without an Air Fryer?
Absolutely, you can bake them in a regular oven at 350°F with a fan setting or 375°F without a fan. Just keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t overcook, as ovens vary.
Can I Use Different Cheeses?
Yes, feel free to swap Gouda for mozzarella, cheddar, or a pizza blend. Just make sure it’s a good melting cheese for that gooey pizza texture.

Rice Paper Pizza Rolls
Ingredients
- 6 rice paper sheets
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Gouda cheese about 5 oz
- 3-4 slices deli chicken or turkey
- 1/4 cup finely chopped pepperoni
Homemade pizza sauce (or use store-bought one)
- 1/2 cup tomato passata
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried basil
Instructions
- In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Dip each rice paper sheet in the egg mixture for about 5 seconds, making sure it’s fully coated.
- For each pizza roll, lay 3 rice paper sheets side by side with a slight overlap near the center. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce, then add a layer of shredded Gouda, chicken or turkey slices, and chopped pepperoni.
- Carefully fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll it up tightly into a log, being gentle to avoid tearing the rice paper. Repeat to make a second roll.
- Place both rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in an air fryer or a preheated oven with a fan setting at 350°F for about 15 minutes, until golden and crispy.
