Air Fryer Canned Biscuits: Quick, Crispy, Golden Perfection

Cooking canned biscuits in an air fryer oven is a quick and easy way to make fluffy, golden brown biscuits. It takes less than 10 minutes and doesn't require you to turn on your oven. To make sure your biscuits cook evenly, you should place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray. You can lightly spray the basket with cooking spray or use parchment paper. Air fry the biscuits at 330°F/165°C for 6-10 minutes, flipping them over halfway through.

How to prepare your air fryer basket

To prepare your air fryer basket, you should first lightly spray the inside of the basket with cooking spray. This will help to ensure that your biscuits don't stick to the basket. Next, you should place the biscuits in the basket in a single layer. Make sure that they are not stacked and that they have room to rise and expand. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the biscuits in batches to ensure even cooking. If you have an oven-style air fryer, it's best to cook one tray at a time in the middle position.

How to space out biscuits in the air fryer

When cooking canned biscuits in an air fryer, it is important to space them out so they aren't touching and have room to rise and expand. Only cook a single layer of biscuits at a time. If you stack them, the air fryer biscuits will not cook through correctly and you will burn the outside before the inside cooks. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the biscuits in batches to ensure even cooking. If you have an oven-type air fryer with racks, use the middle rack. If you want to cook two racks at a time, rotate the racks during cooking and still flip the biscuits.

How to cook biscuits evenly

To cook biscuits evenly, it is important to place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray. Make sure the biscuits are not stacked or touching, as this will prevent them from cooking through correctly. If you are using an oven-style air fryer, it is best to cook one tray at a time in the middle position. If you need to cook more biscuits, do so in batches. You can also rotate the racks during cooking and flip the biscuits to ensure even cooking.

For refrigerated biscuits, the air fryer should be set to 330°F/165°C. Cook the biscuits for 6-7 minutes, then gently wiggle them to loosen from the basket. Continue to air fry for another 1-3 minutes, or until they are crispy brown and cooked through. If you prefer your biscuits fluffy, set the air fryer to 350°F and air fry for 6 minutes. Flip and rotate the biscuits, then cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until they are cooked through on the inside and golden brown on the outside.

How to get biscuits crispy and brown

To get biscuits crispy and brown, you should air fry them at 330°F/165°C for 6-7 minutes. Then, gently wiggle the biscuits to loosen them from the basket and air fry for another 1-3 minutes, or until they are crispy brown and cooked through. You can also flip the biscuits to finish off during the last 1-3 minutes of air frying.

If you want to cook two racks at a time, you must rotate the racks during cooking and still flip the biscuits. However, they won't rise as much as cooking in a single layer.

If you have an oven-type air fryer with racks, use the middle rack. Put the cooked biscuits back into the air fryer at 350F and air fry for 2-3 minutes to reheat.

How to reheat biscuits

To reheat biscuits in an air fryer oven, put the cooked biscuits back into the air fryer at 350F and air fry for 2-3 minutes.

To cook canned biscuits in an air fryer oven, first, remove the biscuits from the can. Place the biscuits in a single layer in the basket or tray of your fryer (parchment or oiling the basket is optional). Air Fry biscuits at 330F/165C for 9-10 minutes. Flip the biscuits over, halfway through the cooking time. Carefully remove the biscuits and serve with jam or gravy. Enjoy! Turn the biscuits over halfway through for an even cook. Only cook a single layer of biscuits at a time. If you stack them, the air fryer biscuits will not cook through correctly. If you have an oven-type air fryer with racks, use the middle rack.

If you are using refrigerated dough, lightly spray the inside of the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Line the bottom of the air fryer basket with the biscuits - don’t stack! Set the air fryer to 350 degrees F and air fry the biscuits for 6 minutes. Flip and rotate the biscuits, and cook for 3-4 minutes more, or until the biscuits are cooked through on the inside and golden brown on the outside.
