Ingredients
- 1 can Grands Biscuits
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour for rolling
- 1-2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- ½ pound cooked sausage
- 4 ounces pepperoni slices
- 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes. While the air fryer heats up, separate the biscuits into two layers. Lightly flour a cutting board, then use a rolling pin to flatten each biscuit half into a 3-inch circle. Top each dough circle with 2 teaspoons of marinara sauce. Add cooked sausage, pepperoni slices, and a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil or brush it on to prevent sticking. Use a spatula to carefully place the pizzas in the air fryer basket, cooking 2 or 3 at a time with space in between. Cook for 4 minutes at 400°F or until golden brown. Once done, transfer the mini pizzas to a wire rack and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve immediately for the best texture, or let them cool completely before storing them in the fridge.

Serving and Storage Tips
Serving Tips
Mini pizzas are best enjoyed fresh out of the air fryer for a crispy crust and gooey cheese. Serve them as an appetizer, a snack, or a main dish with a side salad or some dipping sauces like ranch or garlic butter. You can also pair them with a refreshing beverage such as iced tea, soda, or sparkling water. For an extra special touch, garnish the mini pizzas with fresh basil or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese before serving.
Storage Tips
If you have leftovers, store the mini pizzas in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 2 days. To maintain their crispy texture, reheat them in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes at 350°F, or until they’re warmed through and crispy again. Avoid reheating them in the microwave, as this may result in a soggy crust. If you want to freeze the mini pizzas for later use, allow them to cool completely, then place them in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag for up to 1 month. When you’re ready to eat them, reheat the frozen pizzas in the air fryer at 375°F for 5-7 minutes until they’re crispy and hot.
