How to Make Cinnamon Rolls in the Air Fryer 

• Step 1 – Preheat the air fryer to 320 degrees Fahrenheit. If your air fryer does not have a preheat option, then run the air fryer for 5 minutes at 320 degrees F to warm it up. 
• Step 2 – Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to keep the cinnamon rolls from sticking to the basket. 

Step 3 – Place the cinnamon rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may have to cook in batches based on the size of your air fryer. 

Step 4 – Air fry the cinnamon rolls for 6-8 minutes at 320 degrees F until the cinnamon rolls are cooked through and golden brown on top.  (Start checking the cinnamon rolls after 6 minutes and continue to cook in 1 minute increments until cooked through.)

Step 5 – Microwave the icing that came with the cinnamon rolls for 15 seconds in a microwave safe bowl. 

Step 6 – Remove the cinnamon rolls from the air fryer.  Drizzle the icing on top. Serve warm and enjoy! 

Recipe Tips

• Cooking Time – Each air fryer cooks differently, so make sure to start checking the cinnamon rolls after 6 minutes and watch them closely to ensure that the cinnamon rolls do not get over cooked. 
• Preheat Air Fryer – We recommend preheating the air fryer before placing the cinnamon rolls into the basket. This helps to cook the cinnamon rolls faster and evenly.
• Topping with Icing – We like to drizzle the icing on the cinnamon rolls as soon as we remove them from the air fryer. This allows the icing to melt perfectly.
