Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Rolls
- 1 tube crescent roll dough
- 4 string cheese sticks
Butter Mixture
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Garnish
- Fresh minced parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangle shapes.
- Slice the cheese: Cut each string cheese stick in half to create smaller pieces that fit inside the dough triangles.
- Assemble the rolls: Place one half of a string cheese stick at the wide end of each crescent triangle. Fold in the two pointed edges of the dough and then roll it up towards the narrow end, making sure to completely seal the cheese inside.
- Make butter mixture: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until well combined.
- Brush rolls: Generously brush the butter mixture over all sides of the crescent rolls. Save any remaining butter mixture for after air frying.
- Arrange in air fryer: Place the rolls evenly in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on your air fryer size.
- Air fry the rolls: Cook the rolls at 350°F (175°C) for 6 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Final touch: Remove the rolls from the air fryer and immediately brush with the reserved butter mixture. Sprinkle fresh minced parsley over the top for garnish before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the crescent dough is sealed tightly to prevent cheese from leaking during cooking.
- Cooking time may vary slightly based on air fryer brand and model; check for golden brown color.
- Can be served with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
- Make sure the butter mixture is well combined so it coats the rolls evenly.
- If you do not have string cheese, cut mozzarella sticks into similar sized pieces as a substitute.
