Pizza rolls make a great snack, lunch, or meal anytime. They are so simple to make since you just place them on a baking sheet and bake in the oven. In minutes you get piping hot breaded pockets filled with sauce, meat and cheese. 

But, can you fry pizza rolls?

For another way to cook the lunchtime favorite, you can fry pizza rolls. This will give the bite-sized pizza-filled pockets a crispy outer layer. Just drop the pizza rolls in a pan of heated oil and fry for about 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown.

Frying pizza rolls can be faster than cooking them in the oven. Frying only takes a few minutes whereas in the oven, about 10 to 20 pizza rolls will need to be in for about 10 to 12 minutes to cook completely. For any more than this, it could take longer to bake averaging about 13 to 15 minutes in the oven. 

If you are wanting to fry the pizza rolls, all you have to do is heat up some oil in a frying pan. Once the oil is hot, drop them in and fry for about 2 to 3 minutes. They will brown quickly. Once they are fried, lay them out on paper towels and wait a couple of minutes before serving. 

Then enjoy your pizza rolls, maybe with some dipping sauces like ranch dressing on the side. 

For regular frying, you don’t need a lot of oil, but if you want to deep fry the pizza rolls, you will need to use a lot of oil. When deep frying the pizza rolls, you may need to adjust your heat since the oil will likely start to pop. Once the rolls have floated to the top of the oil, watch them very carefully. 

If this happened it could be because one of the rolls has burst open and cheese is running out of it. Remove this roll and continue frying the pizza rolls until they are cooked thoroughly. 

As you can see, you can fry pizza rolls and it takes less time to fry them than it does to bake them in the oven.
