- One egg
- One tablespoon of water
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare all fillings by finely dicing vegetables, shredding mozzarella cheese, and ensuring meat fillings are ready.
- In a small bowl, whisk one egg with a tablespoon of water for the egg wash.
- Get the pizza sauce ready in a small bowl and keep the wonton wrappers covered with a damp paper towel.
- Lay a single wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface in the shape of a diamond.
- Place about ½ teaspoon of pizza sauce just below the center of the wrapper.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce, followed by 3-4 pieces of pepperoni or about 1 teaspoon of other chosen beef filling.
- Moisten all four edges of the wonton wrapper with the egg wash.
- Fold the bottom point of the diamond up and over the filling, tucking it in snugly.
- Fold the left and right corners towards the center, overlapping them slightly.
- Roll the wrapper upwards towards the top point, creating a tight cylinder, and press to seal.
- Repeat the process for remaining wrappers and filling, placing assembled rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet or air fryer basket.
- Lightly brush the tops of each roll with the remaining egg wash.
- For Baking: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
- For Air Frying: Cook in batches in the preheated air fryer for 6-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Let the rolls cool on the baking sheet or a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with extra pizza sauce, ranch dressing, or a garlic parmesan dip.
