Method

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper.

  3. Spray the parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray.

  4. Separate the biscuits into 8 pieces and flatten each piece into a 6-inch large disc.

  5. Spread 1 tablespoon of spaghetti sauce on each disc, making sure to stay within 1/4 inch of the edge.

  6. Top each disc with 2 tablespoons of cheese and 4 slices of pepperoni, overlapping them.

  7. Pull the sides of the biscuits up and pinch them together to seal.

  8. Place the biscuits in the air fryer basket with the sealed side facing down.

  9. Brush the biscuits with butter.

  10. Cook in the air fryer until the biscuits turn golden brown, which should take about 4 to 6 minutes.

  11. Flip each biscuit over and brush the other side with the remaining butter.

  12. Air fry for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown as well.

  13. If you have a regular air fryer, you might need to cook the biscuits in batches.

  14. Note that all air fryers are different, and some may run hotter than others. This recipe was developed using a Cuisinart Air Fryer Oven, which tends to run on the hotter side.
