AIP Pizza Rolls
These AIP pizza rolls are the perfect bite! They’re made with a sweet potato dough and filled with beef and nightshade-free marinara.
Pizza rolls are the ultimate game-day food. I’m in love with the Stromboli recipe from Grazed and Enthused, and used it as inspiration for making an AIP pizza roll this year! The dough holds together perfectly, the filling is simple and flavorful, and it feels exactly like you’re eating a pizza roll. You’ll have trouble not eating the whole batch in one sitting 😉
Why you’ll love these Pizza Rolls
- It’s the perfect game-day appetizer! These pizza rolls are so delicious and taste exactly like eating a pizza roll!
- It fits any dietary needs. This recipe is gluten-free, grain-free, egg-free, dairy-free, and nut-free, and still tastes delicious!
The Ingredients for the Pizza Rolls
- White Sweet Potato. Hannah, Jersey, or Japanese Sweet Potato should all work! To prep the sweet potato, I like to peel them, chop and boil them until they’re soft, and then I mash them.
- Arrowroot Starch. You may be able to use tapioca starch, but I usually stick with arrowroot starch.
- Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, and Salt.
- Nutritional Yeast. This gives the cheesy flavor! But you can leave it out if you want.
- Ground Beef. You could use ground turkey as well if you prefer.
- Nightshade-Free Marinara Sauce. This sauce is so delicious and makes the perfect filling for these pizza rolls!
How to make AIP Pizza Rolls
- Step One. Make the dough
- Step Two. Make the filling.
- Step Three. Roll the dough into balls, flatten the ball, and add a spoonful of filling to the center of each. Fold the dough over and form into a slightly flattened ball. Repeat for all of the dough and filling.
- Step Four. Bake the pizza rolls.
- Step Five. Top with parsley and serve with sauce for dipping.

Could I use a regular gold potato? My daughter is on a low formal diet for SIBO and she cannot have sweet potatoes, so I would make two different types. I have 4 kids and cooking is quite interesting right now, trying to accommodate everyone.
I actually haven’t worked with potatoes in years and years so I honestly don’t know… sorry!
I used that cookbook when I did AIP years ago and the stromboli recipes I made weekly. If these even come close, I’m a happy camper. Thanks for all your hard work.

Hope you enjoy the pizza rolls!!
Can I use regular sweet potatoes? We don’t have white ones available in the stores in my area.
The flavor would be different but it may work
After trying the cinnamon buns a while ago I made the pizza rolls yesterday. It was a bit challenging to make the small bites so after few I decided to divide the rest of the dough in four and make the rest into a sort of empanada style and that worked better for me. The taste was great! Even my non-AIP husband really liked them. Thank you for the recipe!

Thank you!!
Can’t wait to try this recipe out.
Does this dough work for pizza??
hmm maybe. let me know if you try!
Do you think I could use Parmesan cheese instead of nutritional Yeast? The cheese is actually better for me than the nutritional yeast bc of the folic acid in NY activating my MTHFR.
Sure!
