Instructions

Prepare the crescent rolls: Separate the crescent rolls and lay them flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread Nutella across each roll and sprinkle chocolate chips on the larger end to add rich texture and flavor.
Shape and brush: Starting from the larger end, gently roll up each crescent into the classic croissant shape. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water or milk to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture evenly over the surface of each croissant to ensure a beautiful golden finish.
Air fry the croissants: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the prepared croissants in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, ensuring they have enough space for even cooking. Air fry for 8 minutes or until the croissants turn golden brown and flaky.
Add optional garnishes: Once cooked, you may drizzle the croissants with melted chocolate chips and optionally top with honey or a light dusting of powdered sugar to enhance sweetness and presentation.

Notes

For best results, serve croissants warm right after air frying.
You can substitute chocolate chips with chopped nuts or fruit preserves for variety.
If your air fryer basket is small, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Use milk in the egg wash instead of water for a slightly richer crust.
To store leftovers, keep croissants in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the air fryer to maintain crispness.
