    Tips For Best Cinnamon Rolls In The Air Fryer

    • NO PREHEATING- Preheating the Air fryer is a good thing to get the crispy texture in many recipes. But in this recipe you don't need to preheat. In fact preheating makes the cinnamon rolls brown outside while the dough inside could still be raw.
    • Use parchment paper - I prefer to use the parchment paper liners so the rolls don't stick to the basket and flip easily. If you don't have parchment paper, use aluminum foil or grease the air fryer basket with some oil.
    • Turn the rolls and cook on both sides - I've seen many recipes don't call for turning. But cooking the roll on both sides cooks them evenly. Use a spatula and carefully turn them to the other side and cook for perfectly air-fried cinnamon rolls.
    • Ice while warm - Top the cinnamon roll with icing while they're still warm. The icing will drip and coat the roll on all sides.

    Storing and Reheating

    Store- If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Or leave them in the counter for 1 to 2 days.

    Reheat- To reheat them, air fry at 350˚F for a few minutes until warm. If you have icing on them, that'll disappear into the roll. Or you can microwave the rolls to warm them.

    How Long Do You Cook Cinnamon Rolls In Air Fryer?

    Cook Air fryer Pillsbury cinnamon rolls for a total of 10 minutes.

    Set the temperature to 350˚F and cook for 6 minutes and flip the cinnamon rolls and cook for another 4 minutes. I use a Cosori 5.8qrt Air fryer and mine were perfectly cooked at this time.

    For the small can of 8 rolls, cook them for 5 minutes, turn and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until nice and browned.

    Since timings may vary in Air fryers, keep a close eye on the first batch that you're making so you don't burn the rolls.

      5 stars
      Was wondering if I could freeze them individually & air fry one at a time, instead of doing the whole can at once? Would probably need to thaw out before air frying? thank you

        Hi Carol, yes you can freeze individual portions. No need to thaw. Just increase the cooking time until they're done.
