3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Vegan Pizza Bites
Preparing the Filling
In a bowl, combine the marinara sauce, vegan shredded cheese, chopped bell peppers, olives (if using), oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful filling.
Assembling the Pizza Rolls
Lay out the puff pastry or wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Spoon about a tablespoon of the filling onto the center of each wrapper. Carefully roll them up, sealing the edges with a little water or vegan egg wash to prevent opening during baking.
Baking the Vegan Pizza Rolls
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with olive oil or line it with parchment paper. Arrange the rolls seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with a bit of olive oil for extra crispness. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Alternative Cooking Method: Air Fryer
For an extra crispy finish, place the assembled rolls into your air fryer. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes until golden and crispy. This method gives an incredible crunch and is perfect for quick snacks.
4. Tips for Perfect Vegan Pizza Rolls
- Ensure the edges are sealed properly to prevent fillings from spilling out during baking.
- You can customize the filling with your favorite vegan toppings like artichokes, spinach, or vegan ground meat.
- Use vegan cheese brands like Miyoko’s or Daiya for melty, cheesy goodness.
- Serve immediately for the best crunch, or store for later with proper storage tips below.
5. Storage and Reheating Tips
Allow the vegan pizza rolls to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. You can refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage. To reheat, the best method is in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes for a crispy finish or in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes.
6. Serving Suggestions
Serve these savory vegan snacks with a side of vegan ranch, marinara for dipping, or a simple mixed greens salad. They also make an excellent finger food at parties or movie nights. Pair with a refreshing beverage or a light vegan dip to elevate your snack game.
