- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 count)
Additional:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (optional for sweetness)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for 3 minutes.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles. Optionally, mix honey or sugar with cinnamon and brush lightly onto each triangle before rolling.
- Shape Croissants: Roll each triangle tightly into a croissant shape, starting from the wide end and tucking the tip underneath. Lightly brush croissants with melted butter.
