Making air fryer canned cinnamon rolls is a wonderful way to get a warm breakfast on the table more quickly. With no preheating and only one ingredient, this recipe is ideal for any occasion.
If desired, spray the inside basket of your air fryer with cooking spray or brush with olive oil to make it nonstick.
Open a can of cinnamon rolls and place them into the air fryer so that they are not touching.
Place the basket into the air fryer and cook for 5-7 minutes at 360 degrees F. Check on the cinnamon rolls after 5 minutes as smaller rolls may cook more quickly.
Let the rolls cool for one minute before removing from the air fryer.
Top with the icing that came with the rolls, and then serve warm. Enjoy.
Notes
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.
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.
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.
