Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 16.3 ounce (8 count) Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits
- 1 cup pizza sauce (divided use, plus more for serving)
- 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices
- 4 mozzarella string cheese sticks (cut into fourths, then slice again vertically. Each cheese stick will be divided into 8 pieces.)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (can use salted)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 Tablespoons grated Parmesan
- Fresh minced or dried parsley flakes (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Remove the biscuits from the can and with a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit into a circle approximately the size of a large grapefruit. About 1/8” thick.
- Add one tablespoon of pizza sauce to the center of the biscuit circle.
- Top the pizza sauce with 2 pieces of mozzarella cheese sticks.
- Add 1 tablespoon of mini pepperonis on top of the cheese.
- Add two more pieces of mozzarella sticks on top of the pepperonis.
- Grab the edges of the circle and pinch to close. Ensure there’s no large amount of dough in the pinch to avoid undercooking.
- Continue this process with the remaining biscuits.
- Preheat a 6-8 quart air fryer to 350°F. Generously spray the bottom of the basket with nonstick spray.
- Place the pizza bombs in the basket, seam side down, leaving plenty of space for airflow. You may need to do this in batches.
- Air fry for 8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- If needed, work in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket for even cooking.
- These are great for serving at parties or as a quick and easy weeknight snack!
