Easy High-Protein Low-Carb Air Fryer Pizza Roll-Ups

Equipment

• Air Fryer (4 to 6 quart): Rapidly circulates intense hot air to turn wraps golden and crispy in minutes.
• Non-Stick Tongs: Safely turns and removes hot, cheesy roll-ups without tearing the crisp tortilla shells.
• Oil Mister / Cooking Spray: Applies a light, even layer of olive oil spray to promote uniform golden browning.
• Small Silicone Pastry Brush: Easily brushes garlic butter or herb oil over the roll-ups before air frying.

Ingredients

• 4 High-Protein Low-Carb Tortillas (Note: Look for wraps with at least 5g–7g protein and under 4g net carbs each).
• 1 cup (112g) Low-Moisture Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (Note: Part-skim mozzarella melts cleanly without releasing excess water).
• 24 slices Turkey Pepperoni or Standard Pepperoni (Note: Turkey pepperoni cuts down saturated fat while keeping protein high).
• ¼ cup Unsweetened Marinara or Pizza Sauce (Note: Keep it light inside the roll to prevent soggy shells).
• ½ tsp Italian Seasoning
• ¼ tsp Garlic Powder
• Olive Oil Spray (Note: For spraying the basket and rolls).

Instructions

1. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3 minutes. Lay 4 high-protein low-carb tortillas flat on a clean cutting board or work surface.
2. Spread 1 tablespoon of unsweetened marinara sauce thinly down the center of each tortilla. Top each with ¼ cup shredded mozzarella, 6 slices of turkey pepperoni, a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. High-protein tip: Using part-skim mozzarella delivers maximum structural melting power with higher protein per calorie.
3. Fold the left and right edges of each tortilla inward over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a secure, sealed burrito-style package.
4. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Place the roll-ups seam-side down inside the basket, leaving 1 inch of space between each. Spray the tops lightly with olive oil spray for an extra-crispy shell.
5. Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 6 to 7 minutes, turning them over with tongs at the 4-minute mark, until the shells are golden brown, crackly, and the cheese is thoroughly melted.
6. Remove roll-ups carefully with tongs and let them rest on a plate for 2 minutes so the hot cheese sets. Serve warm with extra warm marinara sauce or low-carb ranch for dipping.

Notes

Storage Tip: Wrap leftovers in foil or parchment before placing in glass containers to keep the shells intact. Reheating Instruction: Reheat cold roll-ups in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3 to 4 minutes to restore maximum shell crunch. Allergy Note: Contains wheat/gluten (from tortillas) and dairy (cheese); swap for gluten-free low-carb wraps or vegan mozzarella if needed. Flavor Boost: Brush tops with a mixture of melted butter, garlic powder, and grated Parmesan cheese during the last minute of air frying.
