Storage/Reheating

FAQs

Can I use egg roll wrappers instead of spring roll wrappers?

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, assemble them ahead and fry, bake, or air fry just before serving.

Can I freeze pepperoni spring rolls?

Yes, freeze before or after cooking. Reheat in the oven or air fryer until crispy.

What dipping sauces go well with these?

Marinara, ranch, garlic butter, or spicy sriracha mayo are all delicious.

Do I need to cook the pepperoni first?

Can I make these vegetarian?

Yes, swap pepperoni for mushrooms, peppers, or spinach.

How do I prevent the rolls from opening while cooking?

Seal the edges tightly with water or egg wash, and roll firmly.

Can I bake instead of frying?
