Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Open the package of crescent rolls and unroll the dough. Separate it carefully into individual triangle shapes, then roll each triangle starting from the wider end to the tip to form classic crescent rolls.
- Arrange in air fryer: Place the crescent rolls in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Make sure to leave enough space between each roll to allow proper air circulation. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.
- Air fry the rolls: Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook the crescent rolls for 6 to 7 minutes. They should become lightly golden brown and fully cooked through. Subsequent batches may take slightly less time as the air fryer will already be preheated.
- Serve warm: Once cooked, remove the crescent rolls from the air fryer and serve them warm for the best flaky, buttery texture and flavor.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
- Cooking times may vary depending on the brand and size of your air fryer; keep an eye on the rolls to prevent over-browning.
- These are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently in the air fryer or oven.
- For extra flavor, brush the rolls with melted butter before or after air frying.
