Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tube (12.4 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls (usually 5–8 count)
- Included cream cheese or vanilla frosting packet
- 2 tablespoons red and green festive sprinkles
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional for extra spice)
- Non-stick cooking spray or parchment paper
Instructions
- Start by removing the cinnamon rolls from the refrigerated tube and set the frosting packet aside. Lightly grease your air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray or line it with a piece of perforated parchment paper specifically designed for air fryers. If you are using a standard piece of parchment paper, ensure it is cut to fit and does not cover all the air vents, as air circulation is key to an even bake.
- Place the cinnamon rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Leave at least an inch of space between each roll to allow them to expand as they cook. Set your air fryer to 330°F (165°C). Cook the rolls for 7 to 9 minutes. Check them at the 7-minute mark; they are done when they are tall, puffed up, and have a deep golden-brown color on top. If they look doughy in the center, give them another minute or two.
- Carefully remove the hot rolls from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula. While the rolls are still warm, spread the frosting evenly over the tops so it melts into the spirals. Immediately top with your red and green Christmas sprinkles. Serve them warm on a festive platter and enjoy the gooey goodness immediately.
