The image shows eight golden-brown croissants arranged inside a black air fryer basket with a grid pattern. The croissants have a flaky texture with visible layers and slight shine from baking. They are evenly spaced, with some positioned diagonally and others more horizontally. The air fryer basket is open, resting on a white marbled surface, with a wooden cutting board partially visible underneath. In the top left corner, a white plate with yellow butter pats is visible, and a beige textured cloth is placed in the upper right corner. A blue and white striped fabric is also visible at the bottom right edge. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Open the package of crescent rolls and unroll the dough. Separate into triangles and roll each one up to form a crescent roll.
  2. Step 2: Place crescent rolls in a single layer in your air fryer basket with space for air to flow between each. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  3. Step 3: Place basket in air fryer and air fry at 350 degrees for 6-7 minutes or until crescent rolls are lightly golden and cooked through. Subsequent batches will cook faster as the air fryer will be preheated.
  4. Step 4: Serve warm.

Tips & Variations

  • Brush the crescent rolls with melted butter before air frying for extra golden color and flavor.
  • For a sweet twist, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on the rolls before cooking.
  • Add shredded cheese or ham inside each triangle before rolling for a savory filling.

Storage

Store any leftover crescent rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 300 degrees to refresh their flakiness.

How to Serve

Ingredients

  • 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
