Pour tomato puree into a bowl and season with oil, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix well to blend all the flavors.
Unroll the puff pastry on a work surface and spread the tomato sauce, leaving a empty border all around.
Sprinkle the surface of the tomato sauce with grated Parmesan cheese.
Finally, top with grated emmental.
Gently roll up the pastry sheet starting from the short side, then cut the roll into slices to make rolls, about 1-1.5 inches/3-4 cm thick.
Line the basket of the air fryer with baking paper and lay the puff pastry rolls, taking care to space them apart to allow them to puff up evenly during cooking.
Bake in air fryer mode at 370°F/190°C for 8 minutes. Gently flip the rolls with a fork and continue cooking for another 7-8 minutes at the same temperature.

Pay attention: cooking may vary slightly depending on the model of air fryer.
