• Garlic butter topping adds irresistible flavor.

Ingredient Notes

• Biscuit dough: Use any refrigerated biscuit dough, like Pillsbury Grands, and split each one in half to make smaller rounds.
• Meatballs: Frozen fully cooked meatballs work perfectly—just thaw them before wrapping. You can use beef, turkey, or even plant-based.
• Butter: Melted salted butter gives the sliders that rich, golden finish.
• Garlic powder: Adds a savory kick without overpowering the flavor.
• Italian seasoning: A simple blend that ties the flavors together with herby warmth.
• Marinara sauce: Serve warm on the side for dipping—store-bought or homemade both work great.

Before You Bake

Do I need to thaw the meatballs first?
Yes. Starting with thawed meatballs helps the biscuits cook evenly and ensures the centers heat through without drying out.

Can I bake these instead of air frying?
Absolutely! Bake at 375°F for about 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

How do I keep them from opening while cooking?
Pinch the biscuit seams tightly and place each one seam-side down in the air fryer basket to help them stay sealed.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
• 12 frozen meatballs, thawed
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Marinara sauce, for dipping

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F.
2. Separate the biscuits and split each one in half horizontally to make 16 smaller rounds. Flatten slightly, then wrap each round around a meatball, pinching the seams to seal.
3. Place seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8–10 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
4. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush the warm sliders with the seasoned butter.
5. Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.

FAQ

Can I add cheese inside the biscuit?
Yes! A small cube of mozzarella or provolone inside each biscuit adds an extra melty surprise.

Can I make these ahead of time?
You can assemble them a few hours early, refrigerate, and air fry just before serving.

What dipping sauces go well with these?
Marinara is classic, but garlic butter, ranch, or spicy aioli are also great options.

Can I freeze leftovers?
Yes. Freeze fully cooked sliders, then reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 4–5 minutes until warmed through.

Do they reheat well?
They do! The air fryer keeps them crisp—just heat for a few minutes until warm and golden again.

Sprinkle of Fun

Serve these straight from the air fryer during a board game marathon or family trivia night. Set out a few dipping sauces—marinara, ranch, and garlic butter—for a DIY dunk bar.
