  7. Step 7: Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and crispy.

Tips & Variations

  • For an extra touch, drizzle some honey or maple syrup over the rolls before serving.
  • Try adding a small amount of cream cheese inside the tortilla before rolling for a creamy surprise.
  • If you prefer a less sweet treat, reduce the sugar by half or swap granulated sugar for brown sugar for a richer flavor.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply place them back in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes until warm and crispy again. Avoid microwaving to keep them from becoming soggy.

How to Serve

Four cinnamon rolls are placed on a white plate, each shaped like a rose with several swirled layers of golden brown dough. The top layers are shiny and caramelized with a sprinkle of large sugar crystals glistening on the surface. The edges show a darker brown color from the cinnamon filling, while the inner layers are softer and lighter with a textured dough appearance. The plate sits on a white marbled texture with soft natural lighting highlighting the warm, cozy look of the rolls. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
