Method
- 1
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick, then cut into 8 even strips.
- 2
Brush each strip with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
- 3
Gently twist each strip 3-4 times and place in the parchment-lined air fryer basket.
- 4
Cook at 350°F for 7-8 minutes in batches until puffed and golden brown.
- 5
Combine melted butter with minced garlic, then brush generously over the hot breadsticks and top with parsley and Parmesan.
Pro tip. Let the pizza dough come to room temperature for 15-20 minutes before rolling — cold dough is elastic and will spring back, making it difficult to shape.
Why the air fryer wins here
- Ready in 18 minutes. The same dish takes about 29 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
- Fast-moving hot air browns the outside before the inside dries out, so you get color without babysitting.
- Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.
Storing and reheating
Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.
Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes rather than the microwave so the outside crisps back up. See the reheat guide for exact times by food.
