Main Ingredients
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough (approx. 8 oz)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced finely
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried parsley)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Ingredients
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (for a spicy kick)
- Fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano, chopped
- Small pieces of cooked bacon or pepperoni
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: Soften the butter and combine with minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful garlic butter spread.
- Unroll and Spread: Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture onto each triangle to cover the surface.
- Add Optional Toppings: Sprinkle or place any additional fillings such as shredded cheese, herbs, or cooked meat onto the garlic butter layer before rolling.
- Roll Them Up: Starting from the wide end, tightly roll each triangle into a spiral, tucking in the fillings to prevent leaks during cooking.
- Air Fry to Perfection: Arrange the roll-ups in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes until the outside is golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the roll-ups to cool slightly before serving to enjoy the melty garlic bread texture without burning your mouth.
Notes
- Don’t overfill the roll-ups to avoid leaks and mess in the air fryer.
- Preheat your air fryer to achieve optimal crispy crust.
- Use parchment paper rounds to line the basket for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Rotate or flip roll-ups halfway through cooking for even browning.
- Adjust cooking time based on the size of your roll-ups; larger ones may require more time.
