🔪 Instructions
Check out how to make air fryer canned biscuits with these simple step-by-step instructions:
Spray the inside basket of your air fryer with cooking spray or brush it with olive oil to make it nonstick.
Open a can of biscuits and lay them out in the air fryer basket so that they are not touching. If needed, work in batches.
Place the air fryer basket into the air fryer and set it to 350 degrees F. Cook for 8 minutes. Flip them over halfway through the cooking.
Let them cool for about 1 minute before transferring to your serving plates as the biscuits will be hot.
🍴 Recipe Tips
Please note that canned biscuits come in different sizes so you may wish to check on these biscuits after 6 minutes. If the tops look finished but they're still doughy on the bottom, flip them over and cook the other side for 2 additional minutes.
Flipping the biscuits will help to make sure that they are evenly cooked from both sides.
If you have an air fryer with racks in place, I recommend using the middle rack to cook these biscuits.
Only cook a single layer of biscuits at a time and do not overcrowd the biscuits.
🍳Reheating
If desired, you can reheat your cooled cooked biscuits in the air fryer by heating them in the basket for about 2 minutes at 350 degrees F.
💭 FAQs
You can place your biscuits in an airtight container like a gallon sized baggie and store them in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. Do not freeze the can that the biscuits came in (and especially do not freeze the biscuits while in the can as it can explode). Thaw the biscuits in the fridge overnight before baking as directed.
I recommend sticking with non-aerosol type sprays because aerosol sprays can damage your air fryer and cause the nonstick coating to flake off. Using olive oil spritzer bottles or brushing it on with a pastry brush is the best method for application.
These air fryer biscuits can be kept stored at room temperature for up to a few days in an air-tight container, but they taste best when eaten within 2 or 3 days. Reheat before eating for that fresh warm from oven taste.
