I love to use my Air Fryer to make our favorite prepared foods quickly and easily. 

These Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls are always on a weekend rotation at out house and the Air Fryer is the perfect way to make them. 

No need to heat up the oven when you can make these cinnamon rolls perfectly in the Air Fryer in just minutes. 

How to Make Cinnamon Rolls in Air Fryer

Preheat the Air Fryer to 360 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Prepare the Air Fryer basket with non stick cooking spray or with parchment paper. 

Place the cinnamon roll dough in the Air Fryer basket, leaving a little space in between each cinnamon roll. 

Set the cooking time for 8 minutes to allow the cinnamon rolls to fully cook. If you want to tops to be a little crispier, consider adding an additional minute to the cook time. 

Remove the cinnamon rolls from the Air Fryer and top them with the icing while they are still hot. Serve immediately.

FAQs about Cinnamon Rolls in the Air Fryer:

Why make cinnamon rolls in the Air Fryer?

If you've made cinnamon rolls as much as we have, it takes a little extra time in a standard oven. Instead of preheating the oven and cooking the cinnamon rolls, use the Air Fryer! It's a quick and easy way to make a deliciously prepared breakfast. 

How long do you cook Cinnamon Rolls in the Air Fryer?

We cook Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls for 8 minutes in our Air Fryers with perfect results every time. If you are using a different brand of cinnamon rolls, we suggest running a test batch first and setting the cook time to 6 minutes. 

This will ensure you don't overcook the different brand and allows you to add additional cook time if needed. 

You can always add time, but you cant do anything if they are overcooked!

Should you use Parchment Paper for Cinnamon Rolls in the Air Fryer?

I prefer to use parchment paper when making my cinnamon rolls. It also makes for easier cleanup. 

Make sure you don't add the parchment paper until you have already preheated the Air Fryer and only when you're ready to add your foods.

What should I use if I don't have parchment paper? 

If you don't have parchment paper available, use a non stick olive oil based cooking spray.

      I ALWAYS use the air fryer setting. I don't even use the other settings because this is the setting that I use to make sure I am achieving the right time and temperature. 🙂 Hope that helps!
