Check out how to make canned cinnamon rolls with these simple step-by-step instructions:
If desired, spray the inside basket of your air fryer with cooking spray or brush with olive oil to make it nonstick.

🍴 Recipe Tips
We like to make Pillsbury cinnamon rolls in the air fryer, but you can use any brand. Store brands and name brand cinnamon rolls all cook at about the same time. I do recommend checking on the rolls after 5 minutes and adjusting the cooking time from there.
You do not need to preheat the air fryer before use and using olive oil spray or brushing olive oil in the basket to prevent sticking is completely optional.
🍳Reheating
You can reheat these cinnamon rolls on a plate in the microwave in about 15-30 second intervals until warmed through or you can place them in the air fryer at 330 degrees F for 1-2 minutes.
🥗 Side Dishes
Depending on what your intentions are with these cinnamon rolls you can easily adjust your side dishes to accommodate. If you want the cinnamon rolls for dessert, they're great as-is but if you are planning to serve them up for breakfast then I recommend serving them with:
💭 FAQs
These rolls are ready in just 8 minutes. If desired, you can add another 2 minutes for an extra crispy cinnamon roll, but you'll find that most canned rolls are finished within 5-7 minutes.
Adding parchment paper to your air fryer can help to keep your cinnamon rolls from sticking, but if you do this, I recommend using the parchment paper that is made for air fryers (it has holes for the air to circulate through and is usually cut to size).
You can keep your cooked cinnamon rolls stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the fridge, but they will taste best when eaten fresh.
