Ingredients

  • 9 frozen dinner rolls your favorite brand
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • Optional: garlic powder Italian seasoning, cinnamon-sugar, or herbs for added flavor

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop.
  • Brush the melted butter generously over the tops of the frozen rolls.
  • Place the rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded.
  • Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 5-6 minutes. Check for golden-brown color and crispy texture. If using raw dough rolls, allow them to rise before air frying and cook for 7-8 minutes.
  • Once done, remove the rolls from the air fryer and serve warm.

Notes

  • For additional flavor, you can brush the rolls with garlic butter, sprinkle Italian seasoning, or cinnamon-sugar before cooking.
  • Don’t overcrowd the basket—leave some space between each roll for even cooking.
  • If storing leftovers, place the rolls in an airtight container. They stay fresh at room temperature for 4-5 days, or refrigerate for up to 7 days. Freezing is an option for longer storage (up to 3 months).
  • Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes for best results.
