Use your favorite Parker Style Rolls and make them in the Air Fryer with these Air Fryer Dinner Rolls!
If you need a quick way to heat frozen dinner rolls, the air fryer is perfect. This simple method transforms frozen Parker House–style rolls into golden, flaky, warm rolls in about 15 minutes.
The whole process takes roughly 15 minutes from start to finish and yields soft, buttery rolls with a crisp, golden top.
What dinner rolls do you use?
This recipe was made using Sister Schubert’s Parker House Style Yeast Rolls straight from the freezer. They are sold in an aluminum pan, which you can leave in if it fits your air fryer.
To fit my air fryer, I removed the frozen rolls from the pan but kept them stuck together in their pull-apart formation. If your air fryer accommodates the aluminum pan, you can cook them in it.
This method works with most frozen dinner rolls—use the same temperature and timing as a starting point and adjust as needed for your model.
Tips for Making Air Fryer Dinner Rolls:
Keep in mind that air fryers vary. If this is your first time making rolls in your unit, check them a few times during cooking to prevent over-browning.
I tested this method in a Ninja air fryer, which I use often for recipes on this site.
Timing here assumes frozen pull-apart rolls. If your rolls are thawed, reduce the cook time accordingly (see notes below).
A brush of melted butter near the end of cooking gives the tops a rich golden color and added flavor, so extra butter at the table is optional.
These rolls pair nicely with roasted or braised mains, such as beef roast or similar hearty dishes.
