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 triangles for easy handling.
- Slice Cheese: Cut each string cheese stick in half to fit inside the dough triangles.
- Stuff and Roll: Place one half of the string cheese at the wide end of each crescent dough triangle. Fold the sides over the cheese and roll up the dough completely, ensuring the cheese is sealed inside.
- Make Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until combined.
- Brush Dough: Generously brush the butter mixture over all sides of each rolled crescent dough, reserving some for after cooking.
- Arrange for Cooking: Place the stuffed crescent rolls in a single, even layer inside the air fryer basket. Depending on your air fryer size, cook in batches if necessary.
- Air Fry: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 6 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed and golden brown.
- Finishing Touch: Immediately brush the cooked rolls with the remaining butter mixture and sprinkle fresh minced parsley on top before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute string cheese with mozzarella sticks or your preferred cheese.
- Ensure the dough is sealed well around the cheese to prevent leaks during cooking.
- If your air fryer is small, cook the rolls in batches for even browning.
- Serve warm for the best gooey cheese experience.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of Italian seasoning to the butter mixture.
