Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer. Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the breadsticks.
- Prepare the dough. Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough slightly on a clean surface and cut it into even strips to form the breadsticks.
- Brush with oil and season. Using a pastry brush, coat each dough strip lightly with olive oil or melted butter for flavor and crispness.
- Add seasoning and cheese. Sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the breadsticks to enhance taste.
- Arrange in air fryer basket. Place the breadsticks in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even cooking.
- Air fry the breadsticks. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm. Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately, ideally with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and a crispy exterior.
- Serve the breadsticks with warm marinara sauce for an authentic Italian experience.
- Best enjoyed fresh as breadsticks tend to lose crispness upon standing.
