What you’ll love about these air fryer biscuits
- Canned biscuits are a convenient alternative to homemade biscuits.
- The air fryer method is quicker than the regular oven method.
- These biscuits can either be the main part of a meal (I’m thinking biscuits and gravy or bacon, egg and cheese biscuits) or an easy side dish.
- They can be a quick and satisfying dessert if you top them with melted butter and add cinnamon sugar, jelly or honey.
- Frees up valuable oven space.
Ingredient
You only need two things to make air fryer canned biscuits!
- Refrigerated Biscuits – we use Grands biscuits for this recipe, they are jumbo biscuits and come either 8 or 5 to a can. Use your favorite brand.
- Cooking Spray – whatever brand or variety you have on hand. We usually buy the store brand canola spray but will buy olive oil or vegetable oil sometimes.
How to Make the Easiest Air Fryer Biscuits
- Spray the bottom of the air fryer basket with a little cooking spray.
- Place biscuits in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook at 330° for 6 minutes, flip over and cook another 2 minutes or until the biscuits are a nice golden brown color.

- Cooking spray
Instructions

- Place biscuits in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook at 330° for 6 minutes, flip over and cook another 2 minutes or until the biscuits are a nice golden brown color.
Notes
- I use a pair of tongs that have a silicone coating on them to turn the biscuits over so I don’t scratch my air fryer.
- We do not put parchment paper in the bottom of the air fryer basket because the air needs to circulate all around the biscuits, even underneath. If you want to use it you can, just poke some holes in it so the air will circulate.
- This recipe is for Grands refrigerated biscuits, if you are making smaller biscuits or frozen biscuits then you will definitely need to adjust the cooking time either down or up a significant amount.
