Air fryer crescent rolls are a quick and easy way to enjoy golden, flaky pastries without heating up your oven. Perfect for a snack or a simple side, these rolls come out beautifully crisp and tender every time.
Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
Instructions
- Step 1: Open the package of crescent rolls and unroll the dough. Separate the dough into triangles and roll each one up to form a crescent roll.
- Step 2: Place the crescent rolls in a single layer in your air fryer basket, leaving space between each roll for air circulation. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Step 3: Set the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and cook the rolls for 6-7 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and cooked through. Note that subsequent batches may cook faster since the air fryer will be preheated.
