  1. 01Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick spray or line with parchment paper.
  2. 02Open the can and separate the rolls. Save the icing packet.
  3. 03Place the rolls in the basket with at least 1 inch of space between them. They expand significantly. You'll likely need to cook in 2 batches.
  4. 04Ready for the air fryer.
  5. 05Spread the icing on immediately after cooking while the rolls are still hot. The heat melts it into a glaze.
Leave more space between rolls than you think. Cinnamon rolls expand outward in the air fryer more than in an oven because the circulating air puffs them up. If they touch, they bake together into one giant mass that's raw in the middle. 1 inch minimum.
