The only real roots of unity are 1 and -1. If $\zeta$ is a complex root of unity that is also a root of the equation $z^{2}+a z+b$, then its conjugate $\bar{\zeta}$ must also be a root. In this case, $|a|=|\zeta+\bar{\zeta}| \leq|\zeta|+|\bar{\zeta}|=2$ and $b=\zeta \bar{\zeta}=1$. So we only need to check the quadratics $z^{2}+2 z+1, z^{2}+z+1, z^{2}+1, z^{2}-z+1, z^{2}-2 z+1$. We find 8 roots of unity: $\pm 1, \pm i, \frac{1}{2}(\pm 1 \pm \sqrt{3} i)$.
