Ingredients

Scale

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
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Toppings

  • 2 tbsp shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp honey


Instructions

  1. Arrange the Biscuits: Place the frozen biscuits flat-side down in your air fryer basket, making sure there is at least a 1-inch gap between each to allow hot air to circulate evenly for consistent browning.
  2. Initial Air Fry: Set the air fryer temperature to 350°F and cook the biscuits for 6 minutes without preheating to keep the centers tender and create a crisp crust on the edges.
  3. Rotate the Basket: At the 3-minute mark, carefully remove the basket and rotate it to ensure even exposure to airflow, promoting uniform browning of all biscuits.
  4. Flip and Brush: After the full 6 minutes, use tongs to gently flip each biscuit and brush generously with the prepared garlic-herb butter mixture to enhance flavor and crispness.
  5. Add Cheese and Finish Air Frying: Sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the buttered biscuits. Return the basket to the air fryer and cook at 350°F for an additional 2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve with Honey: Transfer the hot biscuits to a serving plate and drizzle honey on top for a beautiful, sweet contrast that complements the savory and crispy biscuits.

Notes

  • Do not preheat the air fryer to get the best texture and avoid overcooking the biscuits.
  • Ensure enough space between biscuits in the air fryer basket for proper air circulation.
  • Use tongs carefully when flipping the biscuits to keep their shape intact.
  • The honey drizzle can be adjusted to taste or omitted for a fully savory version.
  • Fresh parsley in the butter mixture adds a nice herbal note but can be substituted with dried parsley if needed.
