Pizza Rolls using the Vortex

I make a lot of chicken on my Vortex. Wings and ‘fried’ chicken are my favorites. And sometimes there’s a bit of space left around the grill. That’s when Totino’s pizza rolls make an appearance. Nothing fru-fru, nothing complicated. But, oh so tasty. Pizza rolls using the Vortex gives them an extra-special crunchiness that you just can’t get in the oven.

There are lots of reasons to make these treats. First, they’re a great snack for everyone. But even more importantly, perhaps, is that they make for the perfect ‘cooks treats’. That’s the things we all get to nibble on when we are cooking. The reward for being the cook. These are double-special. They’re crazy good.

The Perfect Treats

Pizza rolls using the Vortex don’t take as long as chicken to cook, so you can either put them on later if you want them with your chicken. Or start them at the same time so you have a little treat to much on while the chicken is finishing. If you are sharing space on the grill with raw chicken make sure that the rolls and chicken don’t touch. I like to put them on opposite sides of the grill. I’m paranoid about those things and rightfully so.

What If….

Ok, it occurred to me one time when cooking these that they are just sitting there. I don’t add anything to them. I’m not really a big help in the process. But I could maybe… do something… So I did. I melted a little butter with some garlic and a little freshly grated parmesan. I didn’t go nuts with it. Then I brushed it over the rolls. Once right before flipping them, and then once again right after flipping. I then gave them time to get happy in the high heat. Oh man, were they even better or what!

If you want some kick, add some red pepper flake or cayenne to the melted butter.

I like to serve my pizza rolls with a bit of warmed pizza sauce for dipping.

Also try chicken fingers on the Vortex.
