Description

These Air Fryer Pizza Bombs are gooey cheese and pepperoni wrapped in golden biscuit dough and air fried to perfection. Perfect as a snack, appetizer, or quick meal, and easily customizable with your favorite fillings.


Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
  • 8 cubes mozzarella cheese
  • 16 slices pepperoni
  • Pizza sauce, for dipping (optional)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Separate the biscuit dough and slightly flatten each piece.
  3. Place a cube of mozzarella and 2 slices of pepperoni in the center of each dough round.
  4. Fold edges over the filling, pinch to seal, and shape into a ball.
  5. Brush each ball with olive oil or melted butter.
  6. Sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese on top.
  7. Place in the air fryer basket without touching each other.
  8. Air fry for 8–10 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Serve warm with pizza sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Don't overfill the dough to prevent leaking.
  • Try different fillings like sausage, mushrooms, or veggies.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for 3–4 minutes.
  • Assemble ahead and refrigerate until ready to cook.
  • Freeze cooked pizza bombs and reheat straight from frozen in the air fryer.
