To prepare Totino's Pizza Rolls, you can bake them in an oven or toaster oven until they are golden brown and heated through. Alternatively, they can be cooked in an air fryer for a crispier texture. Microwaving is also an option, though the pastry may not achieve the same level of crispness. It is important to let them cool slightly after cooking, as the molten filling can be very hot. They are best enjoyed warm.
