🥘 Ingredients
Canned biscuits- Use your favorite can of biscuits. We enjoy the Grands flaky with layers but smaller biscuits can be used too. Just keep an eye on them as smaller biscuits would cook more quickly.
Nonstick cooking spray- this is 100% optional and I often don't use it at all, but adding some nonstick to your air fryer can help to prevent food from sticking, and may help to give you an easier clean up later.
For specific quantities, see the recipe card below.

🔪 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
Different sizes matter
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.
Air fryer racks
If you have an air fryer with racks in place, I recommend using the middle rack to cook these biscuits.
Do not overcrowd
Only cook a single layer of biscuits at a time and do not overcrowd the biscuits.
👩🏻🍳 Storage
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.
🍳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.
🥗 What to Serve With Biscuits
This recipe is perfect for pairing up with my Chocolate Gravy recipe. You could also serve it up with some homemade jams like my Sugar Free Strawberry Jam or Sugar Free Blueberry Jam.
That said, these biscuits are also fabulous for serving with soups like this Instant Pot Ham and Bean Soup!
Whatever you choose, I'm sure you'll enjoy!
💭 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.
The outside of the biscuits (top, sides and bottom) all become a delicious golden brown color and get a crispy texture, while the inside becomes flaky and soft. This is the BEST way to serve up canned biscuits!
