1 can of Crescent Rolls
¼ cup of Plant Butter, melted
½ cup of Sugar
2 Tbsp of Cinnamon
In a small bowl, mix together ½ cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Set aside.
Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press the seams together to form a single sheet.
Brush the entire sheet with melted butter, then sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Unroll a second can of crescent rolls, press the seams together, and place it on top of the first sheet to sandwich the layers.
Brush the top sheet with more melted butter and sprinkle again with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into strips—about 1 inch wide.
Twist each strip gently to create a spiral shape.7
Place the twisted strips in the basket, leaving space between each one.
Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 4 minutes, turn the –8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
While still warm, roll each churro in the leftover cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat thoroughly.
Serve warm
And that’s it—easy, delicious churros made right in your air fryer with crescent roll dough! They’re crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and coated in that classic cinnamon-sugar goodness. Whether you’re serving them as a fun dessert, an after-school snack, or a party treat, they’re sure to be a crowd favorite. Enjoy them warm with your favorite dipping sauce, and don’t be surprised if they disappear fast!
