Hold on to your taste buds, folks! Today, we’re taking a flavorful adventure into the world of Air Fryer Cream Cheese Everything Spirals. You’ll love the flavor and texture of these little bites of heaven—savory, crispy, and delicious.

With the softened cream cheese and the everything bagel seasoning to taste, you can whip up a snack that’ll make your mouth water just thinking about it.

And if you’re feeling fancy, throw some chopped parsley on top for garnish, and you’ve got a snack that will impress all your friends (if you don’t eat them all yourself first). Trust me, one bite, and you’ll be hooked—these spirals are the real deal!

History of the Dish?

Ah, the nostalgia of biting into a warm, cheesy roll on a chilly New Zealand day. These savory spirals, also known as “southern sushi,” have been a beloved snack food in Otago and Southland for decades.

It all started in the 1930s, with ancient recipes popping up in newspapers and community cookbooks. Back then, people humorously referred to them as “rat traps,” but their popularity soared as sliced bread became more widespread. Cheese rolls were trendy in the South, where they paired perfectly with hot soup on a chilly day.

Nowadays, the humble snack has evolved into an artisanal variation featuring a variety of cheeses and bread, which you can find in restaurants throughout the region.

What Can You Serve With Air Fryer Cream Cheese Everything Spirals

Oh boy, the possibilities are endless for serving up some delicious sides with these! I’m not one to tell you what to do, but trust me when I say that a side salad is always a good idea.

Especially if it’s fresh, crunchy, and adds a delicate balance to the creaminess of the spirals. And if you’re feeling fruity, why not add some fresh berries or sliced melon on the side? The sweetness will complement the savory flavors of the spirals perfectly.

But if you’re in more of a snacking mood, vegetable sticks with dip or chips and salsa are always crowd-pleasers. Just remember to stock up on napkins because things might get messy (in a good way!).

OK, let’s get cooking!

This isn’t a difficult recipe to make and is great to have on hand when you need to bring something to a gathering of friends.

Ingredients

• Tube crescent dough sheet or rolls: This is the base for the recipe. You can find it in the refrigerator section of most grocery stores.
• Cream cheese softened: This will fill the crescent rolls and should be at room temperature to make it easier to spread.
• Everything bagel seasoning: This will be used to flavor the cream cheese filling. You can adjust it to your taste. I prefer to get my Everything Bagel Seasoning at Aldi.
• Chopped parsley, for garnish, optional: This is an optional ingredient that can add a pop of color to the finished dish.

Preparation Instructions

Follow these simple steps to make a delicious Air Fryer Cream Cheese Everything Spirals snack everyone will love.

First, preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees. Lightly spray the basket with oil to prevent the spirals from sticking.

Next, unroll the crescent dough sheet onto a piece of wax or parchment paper. If you use crescent roll dough instead of the one that comes in a sheet, use your thumbs to press the seams together until you have one large sheet.

Evenly spread the cream cheese over the entire surface of the dough.

Sprinkle on the everything bagel seasoning for added flavor.

Cut the dough into 1-inch strips and roll them up, starting at one end and rolling to the other.

Put the rolls in the air fryer basket with one end facing up.

Cook for 5–6 minutes, until the dough is golden brown.

Garnish with parsley if desired.

How Could You Switch This up a Bit?

Go wild and experiment with new flavors to find your perfect combination. But wait, there’s more! If you’re a tomato lover, add a thin slice to your cream cheese spiral for a tangy burst of flavor.

And don’t forget, using cheese slices will keep your spirals together and ensure a perfect meal every time. So let’s get creative and make this dish your own; the possibilities are endless!
