Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounce can cinnamon rolls (8 count)
  • 8 ounces vanilla or cream cheese frosting
  • 10 drop neon green food coloring (plus 3 drops yellow – optional)
  • 8 red heart candy sprinkles

Method
 

  1. Open the can and separate the individual cinnamon rolls.
  2. Place the rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket with space between each; optionally place perforated parchment under for easy cleanup.
  3. Cook at 360°F for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through; flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes if desired.
  4. While baking, tint the frosting by mixing neon green food coloring and optionally yellow into the frosting until your desired green shade is achieved.
  5. Remove cooked cinnamon rolls and allow to cool slightly to prevent frosting from melting.
  6. Spread the green tinted frosting evenly over the cinnamon rolls.
  7. Top each roll with a red heart candy sprinkle and serve.

Notes

  • Use canned frosting for convenience or make your own if preferred. Adding a few drops of yellow food coloring helps achieve the perfect Grinch green. Any red heart-shaped candies or Christmas-themed sprinkles work well for decoration. Nutritional values may vary depending on brands and decorations used.
