Air Fryer
Cooking Spray

Ingredients

1 can Cinnamon Rolls refrigerated, Grands (you can use smaller rolls in 8 count, cooking time varies)

Instructions

Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray. You can also use parchment paper as well.
Separate the dough and add it to the basket, leaving some space in between each one. (Also, make sure that you're putting them in a single layer - no stacking!)
Cook in the air fryer for 6 minutes at 360 degrees. Once that time has passed, flip the rolls and cook for another 3 minutes. (This is done so that the tops of the cinnamon rolls don't burn.)
Remove the rolls from the air fryer and top with the icing that came with the dough. These are literally such an easy air fryer cinnamon rolls recipe!

HELPFUL TIPS & TRICKS

Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls are larger in size than some of the other options at the store. This is why you want to be sure to give them space in the air fryer and also flip them.
For nonstick purposes, I prefer using a cooking spray for this recipe because it's fast and simple. Parchment paper works fine, too but I like to save it for other recipes if possible.

SUBSTITUTIONS AND VARIATIONS

Use a homemade glaze - You can use the glaze that comes with the cinnamon roll tube or make your own. I little bit of milk and powdered sugar whisked together and drizzled over the top is a breeze!
Top with frosting - If you REALLY want to make these cinnamon rolls taste like a dessert, you can use canned frosting, too. Just be sure that you let them cool down all the way before adding frosting otherwise it will melt and slide right off.
Add toppings! Drizzled honey, adding maple syrup, topping with powdered sugar, or using cream cheese frosting are all options that you can add to change up the flavor. Chopped pecans on top would be good, too! (If you're feeling extra crazy - add some crumbled-up bacon on top. The sweet and salty combination is out of this world!)
Keep it simple - A little bit of melted butter and brown sugar taste super yummy on top, too! This is a great option to add just a hint of sweetness to the top of these large cinnamon rolls.

STORAGE NOTES

I highly recommend that you eat these baked cinnamon rolls fresh but if you have any leftovers, place them in an airtight container or wrap them well (with plastic wrap or aluminum foil) and keep them at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week.

You should wrap individual rolls for freezing in which case they will last up to 2 months.
