Notes

Make sure the biscuits are closed up so they don't open in the air fryer and leak cheese all over. 
 
Optional: Use cooked sausage or canned mushrooms instead of pepperoni. 
 
Optional: Sprinkle some fresh grated parmesan cheese on top of the pizza biscuit bombs before cooking. 
 
If biscuit bites are too close together in the air fryer they might cook together and therefore may not cook completely within 6 minutes. If this occurs, increase cook time. 
 
Serve with marinara sauce or ranch dressing.
