Recipe Notes/Tips:

  • I find it better to use can Pillsbury deluxe cinnamon rolls than regular can cinnamon rolls for this recipe. You can buy Pillsbury deluxe cinnamon rolls any grocery store (I got mine from Walmart).
  • Listen, if you use regular can cinnamon rolls, your giant cinnamon roll would not rise and will not look like mine.
  • If you do not cover the cinnamon roll with foil, it may become almost too tan/dark. Also, the covering helps it cook very well without drying out. 
  • Ensure that the dough is well done; do not eat raw dough. Possibly use a toothpick to check for doneness.
  • Cooking a giant cinnamon roll in the air fryer is different from making smaller regular cinnamon rolls. Smaller rolls can cook at a higher temperature and short amount of time. On the other hand, I suggest air frying extra large cinnamon rolls at a lower temperature but longer time.
