- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsps grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Heat air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for crispy pizza bombs.
- Gently press each biscuit into a thin, circular shape using fingertips.
- Spoon pizza sauce into the center of the flattened biscuit, ensuring even distribution.
- Layer cheese and pepperoni carefully in the center of the sauce.
- Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, creating a sealed pocket.
- Firmly press and crimp the edges to prevent filling from leaking during cooking.
- Melt butter and combine with Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
- Generously brush the exterior of each pizza bomb with seasoned butter.
- Arrange pizza bombs in the air fryer basket, positioning seam side down for even cooking.
- Cook for 6-8 minutes until the exterior turns a rich golden brown and becomes crispy.
- Carefully remove pizza bombs from the air fryer using tongs.
- Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the hot pizza bombs.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the melty, savory treat.
Notes
- Gently stretch and fold the biscuit dough to prevent tearing and ensure a perfect seal around the delicious fillings.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil to help pizza bombs release easily and maintain their shape.
- Swap pepperoni for vegetarian options like mushrooms, bell peppers, or swap cheeses to accommodate different dietary preferences and taste buds.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket, allowing hot air to circulate and create a golden, crispy exterior on each pizza bomb.
