If you’re not an orange roll fan, then make cinnamon rolls in your air fryer or you could even attempt to cook from scratch cinnamon rolls like these Mashed Potato Cinnamon Rolls or these Homemade Cinnamon Rolls.
Can I cook Orange Rolls in an air fryer?
YES, of course you can cook orange cinnamon rolls in an air fryer! Just about anything you can cook in the oven, you can cook in an air fryer! And not just that, but you WANT to cook orange rolls in the air fryer!
Why? Because cooking food in the air fryer takes less time than an oven and depending on your air fryer, doesn’t require preheating your oven! Which means quicker food without heating up your entire home.
How to cook Orange Rolls in an air fryer?
I have this 5.8 Qt. GoWise Air Fryer, which has been a fantastic machine. It doesn’t require any preheating and the machine itself is very easy to use.
For this recipe I use Pillsbury Orange Rolls, instead of making them from scratch. I am not super mom and I’ll admit that often we eat prepackaged orange rolls on Saturday mornings. And it’s because of this that we wanted to see how to cook them in the air fryer.
With my 5.8 Qt. GoWise Air Fryer, I can cook an entire package of orange rolls at a time. If you have a smaller air fryer, you may have to do them in batches or some today and some tomorrow!
Step 1: Open the Package. This may sound like a silly step, but trust me, waiting for that moment when the can pops is definitely one that makes me cringe. So gather your courage and pop open a can of orange rolls!
Step 2: Cook. Even though my air fryer has a nonstick coating, I still like to give it a tiny spritz of cooking spray. Arrange your orange rolls in your basket and insert basket into air fryer and cook!
Step 3: Frosting! Can we all just admit that the frosting is ALWAYS the best part of orange rolls! While your orange rolls are warm, smear that yummy orange frosting all over the tops. It will melt and glaze your orange rolls beautifully!
Step 4: Devour! You’re either a fork and knife person or a lick your fingers person. Personally I’m a finger licker when it comes to cinnamon rolls and orange rolls!
Why cook Orange Rolls in an Air Fryer?
The main reason you want to cook orange rolls in an Air Fryer is that it’s QUICKER than the oven. Not only do you not have to wait for your oven to preheat, but your rolls cook in half the time thanks to the convection oven style cooking.
Do I cook Orange Roll frosting?
This is a valid question. And the answer is no. Your orange rolls will be warm when they come out of your air fryer and your frosting will melt on them as soon as it touches your orange rolls.
Can I make Air Fryer Orange Rolls in advance?
Yes you can! You can easily prepare these in advance. I’d wait to frost them until you serve them as it makes storing and transporting (if needed) less messy. When ready to frost, you can nuke your frosting (no metal lid in microwave!) and spread over your rolls.
If you do make these in advance, make sure to cover them with plastic wrap or foil to prevent them from drying out.
Are Pillsbury Orange Rolls Vegan?
No. According to Pillsbury’s own website they state that their Orange rolls do contain milk ingredients. Now whether these milk ingredients are in the rolls, the icing or both, that is unclear.

Notes
Each air fryer cooks slightly different. I suggest trying a test batch of one orange roll to ensure the cooking time is the same for your air fryer. I use a GoWise 5.8 Qt. air fryer.
