Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 tube crescent roll dough
- 4 string cheese sticks
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Fresh minced parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
- Slice the cheese: Cut each string cheese stick in half to create smaller portions for stuffing.
- Stuff the rolls: Place one half of a string cheese at the wide end of each dough triangle. Fold in the ends and the top over the cheese, then roll the dough up tightly, ensuring the cheese is completely sealed inside.
- Make garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until well combined.
- Brush rolls: Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over all sides of the stuffed crescent rolls. Reserve any remaining butter for after cooking.
- Arrange in air fryer: Place the rolls in a single, even layer inside the air fryer basket. Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry: Cook the crescent rolls at 350°F (175°C) for 6 minutes or until they turn golden brown and cooked through.
- Finish and serve: Remove the rolls and immediately brush with any leftover garlic butter. Sprinkle with freshly minced parsley before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute string cheese with other types of cheese sticks or small cheese chunks if preferred.
- Cooking time may vary depending on the size and model of your air fryer; monitor closely the first time you try this recipe.
- For an extra crispy texture, flip the rolls halfway through air frying if your air fryer requires it.
- These rolls are best served fresh but can be reheated briefly in the air fryer or oven.
- Feel free to customize the garlic butter by adding herbs like oregano or basil for additional flavor.
