Introduction

Garlic Parmesan Pizza Rolls are a deliciously crispy snack that combines the comfort of classic pizza flavors with a flavorful garlic butter coating. Perfect for parties or an easy appetizer, these rolls bring cheesy, garlicky goodness in every bite.

Ingredients

18-20 frozen pizza rolls (keep frozen)
Vegetable oil for frying
1/4 cup butter (melted)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Dry basil (to taste)
Grated Parmesan cheese (to taste, generous)

Instructions

Step 1: Pour enough vegetable oil into a saucepan to fully submerge the pizza rolls. The oil level will depend on the pan size you use.
Step 2: Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it is hot and ready for frying.
Step 3: Carefully add the frozen pizza rolls and deep fry them for about 3 minutes until golden and crispy.
Step 4: Using a slotted spoon, remove the pizza rolls from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess grease.
Step 5: Transfer the drained pizza rolls to a large bowl and set aside.
Step 6: In a smaller bowl, combine the melted butter with the minced garlic and stir well.
Step 7: Drizzle the garlic butter mixture over the fried pizza rolls and gently stir to coat all sides evenly.
Step 8: Generously sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the coated pizza rolls.
Step 9: Add dry basil (or parsley) seasoning to taste and mix once more to distribute flavors.
Step 10: Serve the Garlic Parmesan Pizza Rolls immediately while they are hot and crispy for the best experience.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes along with the garlic butter.
If you prefer baking over frying, you can bake the pizza rolls according to package instructions and then toss with garlic butter and Parmesan.
Fresh basil can be used instead of dried for a more vibrant herbal note.

Storage

Store leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving as this can make them soggy.
