These Air Fryer Garlic Bread Croissant Roll-Ups combine buttery, flaky croissant dough with a rich garlic butter mixture, parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley. Cooked quickly in the air fryer, they offer a perfectly crispy outside with a soft, savory inside—an irresistible snack or appetizer perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Croissant dough – 1 package (about 8 oz or as per package)
  • Butter – 4 tablespoons, melted
  • Garlic – 2 cloves fresh minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • Parmesan cheese – 2 tablespoons, grated
  • Fresh parsley – 1 tablespoon, finely chopped
  • Salt – 1/4 teaspoon
  • Black pepper – 1/8 teaspoon, freshly ground

Optional Add-ins and Variations

  • Shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese – 1/4 cup (for cheesy roll-ups)
  • Red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper – 1/4 teaspoon (for a spicy twist)
  • Herbs like basil or oregano – 1 teaspoon (as herb substitute)
  • Vegan margarine – substitute for butter for vegan option
  • Cooked spinach or mushrooms – 1/4 cup (for stuffed rolls)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the garlic butter mixture: Melt the butter and mix it thoroughly with minced garlic, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until combined. This flavorful mixture will infuse the croissant dough with classic garlic bread taste.
  2. Roll out the croissant dough: Unroll the croissant dough on a clean, flat surface. Using a brush or spoon, evenly coat each section with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring every flaky layer is fully covered.
  3. Roll and form the roll-ups: Carefully roll the dough into tight cylinders. Depending on your preference, slice them into bite-sized pieces or leave them whole for larger roll-ups. Optionally, add cheese or other fillings before rolling.
  4. Air fry the roll-ups: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the roll-ups in the air fryer basket without overcrowding to allow hot air circulation. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside while remaining soft inside.
  5. Garnish and serve: Once cooked, sprinkle fresh parsley over the roll-ups for color and aroma. Serve warm immediately for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; leave enough space for even crisping.
  • Brush extra garlic butter on the roll-ups after cooking for added shine and flavor.
  • Use fresh minced garlic for a stronger, fresher garlic flavor; garlic powder is an acceptable alternative.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on the air fryer model; start checking a few minutes early to avoid burning.
  • Serve immediately for optimal crispiness and freshness; leftovers can lose texture if left too long.
