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 (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangle pieces, which will serve as the dough pockets for the cheese.
- Slice Cheese: Cut each string cheese stick in half, creating manageable pieces to fit inside the dough triangles.
- Stuff Rolls: Place a half piece of string cheese at the wide end of each crescent dough triangle. Fold the dough ends inward and then roll up tightly from the wide end, ensuring the cheese is completely sealed within.
- Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter with garlic powder, onion powder, and salt, mixing well to create a flavorful coating.
- Brush Dough: Generously brush the butter mixture over all sides of the stuffed crescent rolls. Reserve some butter mixture for after cooking.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the crescent rolls evenly in the air fryer basket. Depending on your air fryer size, you may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Air Fry: Cook the rolls at 350°F (175°C) for 6 minutes or until they turn golden brown and puffed.
- Finish and Serve: After cooking, brush the rolls with the leftover garlic butter and sprinkle with fresh minced parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure the crescent dough is tightly sealed around the cheese to prevent leaks during cooking.
- Cooking times may vary by air fryer model; check rolls a minute or two before to prevent burning.
- For extra flavor, try adding Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes to the butter mixture.
- If you don’t have string cheese, use small mozzarella sticks or shredded mozzarella rolled inside the dough.
- Serve with marinara or ranch dipping sauce for a tasty accompaniment.
