Can you put frozen biscuits in an air fryer?

If you’ve been wondering if you can put frozen biscuits in an air fryer, you’ll be thrilled to learn that yes, you can air fry biscuits from frozen. No need to thaw them first, they can just be cooked from frozen in an air fryer oven or air fryer basket.

Air Fryer Frozen Biscuits

While homemade biscuits are beyond amazing, most of us don’t have time to make ones from scratch on a regular basis (or if ever). Well, other than my sister’s ex-husband’s grandma who made homemade biscuits every single day of her life for 50 years!

When you’re rushed for time but still want to serve golden and fluffy biscuits to mark any occasion as special, cooking frozen biscuits in the air fryer is the way to go! Serve the air fryer biscuits from frozen with butter and jam to serve them on the side, or top them with sausage gravy to serve them as a main dish.

Serve the air fryer frozen biscuits with air fryer breakfast sausage links or air fryer frozen potatoes O’Brien for a complete meal.

Ingredient Notes

Things don’t get much easier than a one-ingredient frozen biscuits in an air fryer recipe! Just pick your favorite brand of biscuits whether it be Grands, Trader Joe’s, Pillsbury, or Jimmy Dean. They’re all about the same size and should cook about the same air fryer biscuit cooking time.

If you have an air fryer oven you can spray the aluminum cooking tray with non-stick spray, don’t add spray to a non-stick cooking basket.

STEP 1: Preheat the air fryer to 350 F. Place the biscuits in a single layer top side down in the basket, making sure to leave at least 1″ of space in between each biscuit. Do not crowd the air fryer.
