Description

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these frozen biscuits cooked in the air fryer are a quick and delicious snack or side dish. Enhanced with garlic-herb butter, melted sharp cheddar cheese, and a drizzle of honey, they offer a perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors in just 13 minutes.


Ingredients

Frozen Biscuits

  • 8 frozen drop-style biscuits (8-count can)

Garlic-Herb Butter

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Toppings

  • 2 tbsp shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp honey


Instructions

  1. Arrange the biscuits: Place the frozen biscuits flat-side down in your air fryer basket, ensuring there is at least 1 inch of space between each biscuit. This spacing allows hot air to circulate freely around the biscuits, ensuring even browning.
  2. Start air frying: Set the air fryer temperature to 350°F (175°C) and cook the biscuits for 6 minutes without preheating. This approach helps maintain tender centers while creating a crisp crust on the edges.
  3. Rotate for even cooking: At the 3-minute mark, carefully remove the basket and rotate it to expose each biscuit to uniform airflow, promoting consistent browning.
  4. Flip and brush with butter: After 6 minutes, use tongs to gently flip each biscuit. Generously brush the tops with the prepared garlic-herb butter mixture to boost savory flavor and crispness.
  5. Add cheese and finish air frying: Evenly sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese over each buttered biscuit. Return the basket to the air fryer and cook for an additional 2 minutes at 350°F until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve with honey and parsley: Transfer the hot biscuits to a plate, drizzle with honey for a sweet contrast, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure biscuits have enough space in the air fryer basket for even cooking and browning.
  • Do not preheat the air fryer to keep the interior of the biscuits tender.
  • Use tongs gently when flipping biscuits to prevent tearing or crushing.
  • The honey drizzle adds sweetness that balances the savory garlic butter and cheddar cheese.
  • Fresh parsley adds a burst of color and a mild herbaceous note to the finished dish.
