Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Rolls
- 1 tube crescent roll dough
- 4 string cheese sticks
Garlic Butter
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Garnish
- Fresh minced parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles to prepare for stuffing.
- Slice the cheese: Cut each string cheese stick in half to fit perfectly inside the crescent rolls.
- Stuff the crescent rolls: Place one half of the string cheese at the wide end of each dough triangle. Fold the sides and roll the dough tightly over the cheese, sealing completely.
- Make garlic butter: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until well combined.
- Brush dough with butter: Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over all sides of the stuffed crescent rolls, reserving some butter for after cooking.
- Arrange in air fryer: Place the crescent rolls in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid crowding.
- Air fry: Cook the rolls at 350°F (175°C) for about 6 minutes or until they turn golden brown and cooked through.
- Final touch: Remove rolls from the air fryer and immediately brush with the reserved garlic butter. Sprinkle with freshly minced parsley before serving.
Notes
- Work in batches if your air fryer basket is small to ensure even cooking.
- Make sure to seal the dough tightly around the cheese to prevent it from leaking during cooking.
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes to the garlic butter.
- Serve warm for the best gooey cheese experience.
