Air fryer canned biscuits are a fast and easy side for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. These soft and flaky biscuits come out so fluffy, and they take just a few minutes to make.
WHY YOU WILL LOVE THESE BISCUITS
Cooked biscuits are perfect as a side dish. Serve them with honey and jam, for breakfast, or add with gravy for southern style biscuits. Biscuits aren’t just for breakfast though! These Air Fryer Canned Biscuits go great with dinner.
Serve them with pot roast, soups and any holidays meals. You can even make small sandwiches with roast or other meats. Having warm biscuits with melted butter on top, can make a meal perfect.
You can use any brand of refrigerated biscuits but I prefer Grands jumbo biscuits or Pillsbury grands biscuits. When you air fry the pre-made biscuit dough, it comes out so fluffy and flaky.

EXPERT TIPS
Leave space. Don’t overcrowd the basket.
Preheating. Pre-heat unless the recipe you are using specifically says not to.
Cooking time. This can vary depending on the brand of air fryer you use. If using a different brand than the Cosori Dual Blaze, you may want to check on the recipe during the cooking process.
Preparing the basket. Use parchment paper or avocado oil for easy cleanup and to help foods not stick to the basket.
STORING
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container. At room temperature, 2-3 days, if refrigerated, they should last up to a week.
You can also place in a freezer bag and freeze for up to three months.
REHEATING
Place the biscuits into the air fryer and cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 minutes, or until heated through.
FAQs
Yes, you can use any type of canned biscuits in the air fryer, including flaky, buttermilk, and other varieties. Just make sure to follow the cooking instructions suitable for your air fryer model.
To prevent sticking, it is recommended to spray the air fryer basket with a nonstick spray or use a brush to apply a thin layer of oil. This helps the biscuits to be easily removed once they are cooked. You can also use parchment paper.
Flipping biscuits might not be necessary if your air fryer provides even cooking. However, if your air fryer tends to cook hotter on one side, then flipping the biscuits halfway through the cooking time could be beneficial.
You can brush the biscuits with melted butter or seasonings like garlic powder or herbs before cooking. Adding cheese on top is also a popular option.
Yes, you can cook frozen biscuits in the air fryer. They will require a longer cooking time than refrigerated ones, typically about 10 minutes, then flipping and cooking for an additional time while watching them closely in the last few minutes.
These Air Fryer Canned Biscuits are perfect for breakfast, side dishes, or even a quick snack! It’s a quick and easy air fryer recipe everyone will enjoy.
