Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 5-count Pillsbury Grands! Cinnamon Rolls
  • Parchment paper to fit air fryer basket
  • Optional: Pinch of salt for frosting
  • Optional: Frosting from can (microwaved slightly)
  • Optional: Extra cinnamon for dusting
  • Optional: Extra sugar for dusting

Method
 

  1. Cut a round piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of your air fryer basket.
  2. Open the can of Pillsbury Grands! cinnamon rolls and place the 5 rolls evenly spaced on the parchment paper in the air fryer basket.
  3. Cook at 325°F (160°C) for 6 minutes.
  4. Carefully transfer the rolls to a clean plate using tongs and discard the parchment paper.
  5. Flip the rolls over and place them back into the air fryer basket.
  6. Cook again at 325°F (160°C) for another 4-6 minutes until puffed and cooked through.
  7. While rolls cook, slightly soften the included frosting by microwaving the container for about 10 seconds. Stir in a tiny pinch of salt.
  8. Remove cooked rolls to a plate, frost immediately while warm, and serve.

Notes

– Use parchment paper cut to size for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
– Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; ensure rolls have space to expand.

– Add a pinch of salt to the frosting to balance the sweetness.
