Ingredients for Air Fryer Everything-Bagel Biscuit Bites

Here’s the beautiful part – you only need three simple ingredients to make these addictive little bites! But let me tell you, each one plays a crucial role in getting that perfect texture and flavor.

• 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough – not the flaky layers kind (trust me, the regular kind gives you that perfect fluffy interior we want)
• 2 tbsp melted butter – I prefer unsalted so I can control the saltiness myself, but use what you’ve got
• 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning – store-bought is fine, but if you’re feeling fancy, my homemade blend is just garlic, onion, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and salt

Quick note: Don’t try substituting the biscuit dough with anything else – we need that specific texture that only comes from the canned stuff. Homemade dough just doesn’t crisp up the same way in the air fryer!

Equipment You’ll Need

Grab these kitchen helpers and you’ll be snacking in no time:

• 3.5-quart or larger air fryer (anything smaller and you’ll have to cook in batches)
• Pastry brush (my silicone one is my ride-or-die for this recipe)
• Small mixing bowl for the melted butter

And here’s my pro tip – don’t use non-stick spray! The butter gives plenty of non-stick power and better flavor anyway.

How to Make Air Fryer Everything-Bagel Biscuit Bites

Okay, let’s make some magic happen! These little bites come together so fast, but follow these steps closely for that perfect golden crunch.

Step 1: Prep the Dough

First things first – pop open that biscuit can (that satisfying pop never gets old!). Lay the biscuits on a clean surface and use a sharp knife to cut each one into 4 equal pieces. Roll them gently between your palms to form little balls – but don’t go crazy here! Over-handling makes them tough. A quick, light roll is all they need to shape up.

Step 2: Season and Cook

Now for the fun part! Melt your butter in a small bowl (I zap it for 20 seconds in the microwave). Brush each dough ball generously with butter – this helps the seasoning stick and gives that gorgeous golden color. Then roll them in the everything bagel seasoning until they’re fully coated like little flavor bombs.

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F – this helps them cook evenly from the start. Arrange the bites in a single layer with some breathing room (no crowding!!). Cook for 3 minutes, then shake that basket like you mean it! This ensures every side gets crispy. Cook another 2-4 minutes until they’re beautifully golden brown.

Pro tip: Stand nearby during the last minute – they go from perfect to overdone in a flash! When they look like little pieces of heaven, scoop them out and try not to eat them all straight from the basket (I never succeed at this part).

Expert Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Biscuit Bites

After making these dozens of times (okay, maybe hundreds – no judgment!), I’ve picked up some game-changing tricks:

• Sticky dough solution: If your biscuit pieces feel tacky after cutting, just pat them lightly with a paper towel. A tiny bit of flour on your hands helps too – sticky dough means uneven seasoning coverage.
• Party-proof planning: Always make a double batch when serving more than two people. These disappear faster than you can say “everything seasoning” – I learned this the hard way at book club!
• Timing is everything: Start checking at 5 minutes – air fryers vary wildly. You want deep golden brown, not dark brown. They’ll keep cooking slightly after removing them.

Remember, no flipping needed – that’s the beauty of the air fryer’s magic circulation!

Variations for Air Fryer Everything-Bagel Biscuit Bites

Once you’ve mastered the classic version, the flavor possibilities are endless! Here are my favorite twists that keep things exciting:

• Garlic-Parmesan: Swap the everything seasoning 1:1 with a mix of grated Parmesan, garlic powder, and parsley. The cheese gets gloriously crispy in the air fryer!
• Spicy kick: Add 1/2 tsp cayenne to the everything seasoning for heat lovers. My husband calls these “danger bites” – you can’t eat just one!
• Crescent dough magic: Use the same method with crescent roll dough (unrolled and cut) for extra flaky layers. Just reduce cook time by 1 minute.

The best part? All these variations use the same simple 3-step method – just change up your seasonings and go!

Serving and Storing Air Fryer Biscuit Bites

Here’s the honest truth – these bites are at their absolute best when served piping hot from the air fryer! I always set out a couple of dipping sauces (my go-tos are ranch and spicy honey mustard) because that crispy exterior just begs to be dunked. If, by some miracle, you have leftovers, toss them in an airtight container – they’ll keep for about 2 days at room temperature.

When it’s snack time again, skip the microwave! That’ll turn your crispy bites sad and soggy. Instead, pop them back in the air fryer for just 1-2 minutes at 350°F to bring back that perfect crunch. Works like magic every time!
