Here’s the golden rule: preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Give it a good 3 minutes to get grumpy and hot.
Toss those frozen dough balls in. Seven minutes is your magic number. But here’s the playful part—peek in at the 5-minute mark.

Are they looking like little sun-kissed moons? Good. Give them a gentle shake. If they need another minute, let them have it. Every air fryer has a slightly different personality.

Now, the dough balls are just the vehicle. The real star is the garlic butter. While they’re sizzling away, grab a small microwave-safe bowl.
Melt a generous knob of butter. Now, squish a garlic clove into it using a press. A tiny pinch of salt. A whisper of dried parsley. Stir it like you mean it.
When those hot dough balls emerge from the air fryer, douse them immediately. The butter sizzles on contact. It’s a beautiful, messy, wonderful sound.
