If you’ve ever wondered how to make canned biscuits taste like they came from a bakery, the air fryer is the answer. Air fryer canned biscuits come out golden on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and cook in a fraction of the time compared to the oven.
This is one of the easiest air fryer recipes you can make, and it is perfect for busy mornings, quick dinners, or even a snack. Using refrigerated biscuit dough like Pillsbury or store brand, you can have warm, buttery biscuits ready in about 8 to 10 minutes.
The air fryer cooks the biscuits evenly and gives them that slightly crisp exterior while keeping the inside light and tender. Once you try this method, you may never go back to baking canned biscuits in the oven again.
As a food blogger and home cook, I’ve tried all the biscuit hacks out there. And I can confidently say: air frying Aldi’s canned biscuits is a game-changer.

🔥 How to Make Canned Biscuits in the Air Fryer
Step 1 Preheat your air fryer to 350°F if your model requires it. Spray or line your basket with parchment paper.
Step 2 Place biscuits in a single layer, leaving space between each one for air to circulate.
Step 3 Air fry at 350°F for 7 to 10 minutes. Check at 7 minutes and continue cooking.
Flip the biscuits and cook for another 3–4 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Let them cool slightly before serving.
📝 Pro Tip: Every air fryer is different. Check for doneness by splitting a biscuit open—if the center is still doughy, add another 1–2 minutes.

Pro Tips for Biscuit Success

- Use parchment paper liners made for air fryers if sticking is an issue
- Adjust cooking time slightly for larger biscuits like Grands
- Check early. Air fryers can vary and biscuits cook quickly
- For extra flavor, brush with garlic butter or honey butter after cooking
