Easy Air Fryer Biscuits:

We love making biscuits during the week and even the weekends. But don’t always have time to bake them in the oven. So I tossed them in my ninja foodi air fryer and they came out perfect in half the time.

We have been cooking a lot of things in the air fryer lately. It is so convenient and the food always turns out so good. I think Air Frying the biscuits have become my new favorite thing.

The hot circulating make biscuits golden brown and extra tasty. The texture comes out perfectly and the middle is perfectly soft.

Tips and Tricks:

  • Only use Olive Oil – Do not use Pam in an air fryer as this spray will damage the air fryer basket. You can also line your air fryer with parchment paper.
  • No need to flip biscuits – I did not flip the biscuits while they were cooking as the air is able to get all around the biscuits in the basket. If your air fryer cooks hotter on one side, then I would flip the biscuits half way through the cook time.
  • Any type of biscuits will work – I used buttermilk biscuits for this recipe. However, you can also use this recipe to make Grands or Flakey Layer Biscuits as well.
  • Reduce cooking time for smaller biscuits – If you use smaller biscuits, cook them in the air fryer at 330 degrees F for 4-5 minutes until they are golden brown.
  • Top your biscuits – For a savory biscuit, top your biscuits with garlic butter or kosher salt when they come out of the air fryer.
