Instructions
1
|
Place a piece of air fryer safe parchment paper along the bottom of the air fryer basket. This eliminates any sticking, helps keeps the gooey cinnamon from dripping down, and makes clean up easy.
2
|
Open up your canned cinnamon rolls and carefully place all five cinnamon rolls into the air fryer basket, evenly spacing with one in each corner and one in the middle. If you have a smaller air fryer, you may need to do this in two batches so your cinnamon rolls are not too close together.

Place the basket into the air fryer and cook at 330F for 10-12 minutes total, using tongs to carefully flip the cinnamon rolls over after 6 minutes. This ensures that the tops do not over cook, and the bottoms of the cinnamon rolls are cooked through. Check the cinnamon rolls at 10 minutes and add an additional 2 minutes if the centers look doughy. If any cinnamon rolls are significantly thicker than others, they may need an additional minute or two longer than the rest. NOTE: If you are cooking the 8-count can of cinnamon rolls, reduce cook time by 2-3 minutes.

Using tongs, move the cinnamon rolls to a plate and let them cool for 2-3 minutes, then add your desired amount of icing, and enjoy. Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 2-3 days for best quality.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Preheat Your Air Fryer 🌡️Preheat to 350°F for 3-5 minutes before adding rolls to ensure even browning and fluffy interiors, reducing overall cooking time.
- Space Them Properly 📍Arrange rolls with at least half an inch of space between each one to allow hot air circulation and prevent them from sticking together.
- Line with Parchment Paper 📄Use air fryer-safe parchment paper or a silicone mat to catch dripping frosting and cinnamon sugar, making cleanup effortless while preventing sticking.
- Add Frosting After Cooking ❄️Apply the included frosting immediately after air frying while rolls are still warm—the residual heat will melt it perfectly for optimal coverage and texture.
- Watch the Final Minutes ⏱️Check rolls at the 12-minute mark since air fryers vary; tops should be golden brown but centers still slightly soft for that signature fluffy texture.
