Follow these simple steps to cook frozen biscuits in your air fryer:
- Prepare the air fryer: If your air fryer requires preheating, set it to 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.
- Arrange the biscuits: Place the frozen biscuits in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they're not touching each other to allow for even cooking.
- Cook the biscuits: Air fry the frozen biscuits at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.
