Air Fryer Cinnamon Rolls

Warm, gooey air fryer cinnamon rolls with a flaky puff-pastry twist and a sweet glaze — bakery-style treats in about 20 minutes, no oven required. The air fryer puffs and crisps them to golden perfection.
They're the easiest way to get that cinnamon-roll fix on a lazy morning. Drizzle with icing while warm and watch them disappear.
Ingredients
Instructions
Fill & roll
Unroll the puff pastry, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle evenly with the brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll it up tightly into a log.
Cut
Slice into 1½-inch rolls and place cut-side up in a parchment-lined basket, leaving space between them. Brush the tops with beaten egg.
Air fry
Air fry at 330°F for about 10–12 minutes, until puffed and golden.
Glaze
Whisk the powdered sugar and milk into a glaze and drizzle over the warm rolls.
- Leave space between rolls so they puff without touching.
- Roll the pastry tightly for defined spirals.
- Glaze while warm so it melts into the layers.
Frequently asked
How long do cinnamon rolls take in the air fryer?
Puff-pastry rolls take about 10–12 minutes at 330°F; canned refrigerated rolls take 8–10 minutes.
Can I use canned cinnamon rolls?
Yes — air fry at 330°F for 8–10 minutes, then add the included icing.
Why aren't mine cooked in the middle?
They were crowded or too thick. Space them out and lower the temp slightly so the centers cook through.
