How long do you put biscuits in the air fryer?

I put these cheddar bay biscuits in the air fryer at 400 degrees F for 9 minutes. Depending on your air fryer, you may need to flip them halfway during the cooking process.

Line your basket with cooking spray or use a reusable silicone liner. Do not crowd the basket, otherwise the biscuits will not crisp up correctly.

It’s so easy to make refrigerated biscuits in the air fryer. You can make frozen biscuits in the air fryer too.

And what if you have some biscuits leftover from your visit to Red Lobster? How do you reheat Red Lobster biscuits in the air fryer? Simply place the biscuits into the air fryer and set the temperature to 320 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 4 to 6 minutes.
