How To Make Air Fryer Pecan Rolls

Start by mixing the brown sugar and butter together. Mix in the pecans.

Spray your muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or olive oil spray. Place a tablespoon of the butter, pecan, and brown sugar mixture into the tin. If you have any extra distribute it among the muffin tins until you use it all up.
