How to Make Air Fryer Cheesy Garlic Rolls
Step 1: Prep the Dough
Cut the biscuit or pizza dough into equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a small round disc with your hands.
Step 2: Add Cheese
Place about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese in the center of each dough piece. Pinch and seal the edges to form a ball, making sure no cheese is exposed.
Step 3: Make Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic and a pinch of salt. Add chopped parsley if using.
Step 4: Brush the Rolls
Brush each dough ball generously with the garlic butter mixture.
Step 5: Air Fry
Place the rolls in a single layer in your air fryer basket (do not overcrowd). Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 7–9 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6: Optional Finishing Touch
Brush with more garlic butter right after cooking and sprinkle with parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Tips for Perfect Rolls
- Seal Tight: Make sure the cheese is fully sealed inside the dough to prevent leaks.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Cook in batches if needed to allow even airflow in the air fryer.
- Cheese Options: Try mozzarella for stretchiness, cheddar for bold flavor, or mix both!
- Add a Dip: Serve with marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli on the side.
