Delicious Keto Side Dishes
When it comes to changing your diet the hardest part can often be what foods to eat. We all know you can’t go wrong with a steak or some chicken thighs, but what to pair with that healthy protein with can often be a challenge. If these air fryer biscuits aren’t cutting it or you’re looking for a change up we’ve got you covered! Some of our favorites are:
- Cauliflower Mac and Cheese
- Low Carb Onion Rings
- Cheesy Keto Garlic Bread (toasted and spread with butter is our favorite way!)
You can check out our food blog for more side dishes and dessert recipes to truly complete your meal!
Using An Air Fryer
I’ll admit we jumped on the air fryer train a bit late, but now we can’t recommend it enough! We use it several times a week and have experimented with different meats and side dishes. There a couple tips you want to be sure to follow when cooking in an air fryer.
- Don’t overfill or overlap your meats. This will ensure even cooking and a crispier outcome. No one likes a steamed steak!
- Flip or toss meat and veggies. This will help the air circulation reach every part of the food.
- Spray with coconut oil to prevent sticking, especially for breaded food. We like to use coconut oil spray, but vegetable oil spray will work well also.
- Use parchment paper or foil to line the bottom for easier clean up.
You can check out this article for some other great tips to help you use your air fryer to its maximum potential!

Make The Biscuits
Using an air fryer could not be easier. All you do is add the foods, start and voila, food cooked perfect every time. Clean up is even easier! My favorite part about these air fryer biscuits, taste aside is that you can make them into any shape you want.
The dough can be a bit sticky, but it’s easy to work with and the shape of your biscuits is up to you. In the video we show you two methods you can give a try:
- Line the bottom with parchment paper and place the dough in blobs. Your result will be round, slightly misshapen biscuits!
- Place the dough in cupcake liners (don’t forget to grease them!) or silicone molds. Your result will be taller, muffin like biscuits. If you’re serving these at a dinner party or holiday dinner I would personally go the cupcake liner route for better presentation!
Either way you make them, you can’t make them wrong.
Dinner Is Served!
Serve these low carb air fryer biscuits up with warm with butter as the perfect side dish to tonights family dinner. They’ll also make for a great roll replacement at holiday dinners this year. You can change up the add-ins to amp up the flavor and meal prep them for the week.
If I was going to meal prep these for a week of dinners I would fill them with pepper jack cheese, bacon and scallions. What would you do?

Air Fryer Biscuits
What You Need:
- Air Fryer
Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp pink himalayan salt
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 tbsp sour cream
Instructions:
- Combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Mix in the cheddar cheese by hand until well combined.
- Add eggs, butter, and sour cream to the center and blend with a large fork, spoon, or your hands, until a sticky batter forms.
- Fit a piece of parchment paper into your air fryer basket. Drop ¼ cup-sized (for large) or 2 tablespoon-sized (for small) portions of batter onto the parchment.
- Air Fry/”Bake” at 400 degrees F for 6 minutes (for small) to 10 minutes (for large), until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter as needed. Serve immediately!
- Note: recipe can yield 9 small biscuits or 5 large biscuits. Nutrition is for 9 small biscuits.
- Alternatively, you could place the batter in silicone muffin liners and air fry them for taller biscuits (yields 7-9, bakes 10-12 minutes depending on how much you fill them).

I think I need to put them in the oven. for them to be cooked through I had to keep them in the air fyer for way longer and only 7 of the nine fit in there…they were VERY dark brown when they were cooked through..Not sure what I did wrong
OH MY GOODNESS these are delicious!! I ended up with 12 in my silicone cups, so lower net carbs…but still stopped myself at 2. Really hard to do that! I added 1/4 tsp of garlic powder to get that “Cheddar Bay Biscuit” effect. Thank you for another fantastic and easy Keto recipe!
Made tonight. Delicious. Worked perfect in silicone cups.
I just did these in my big oven in a well greased nonstick muffin top pan and they came out great! I baked on convection roast at 400 (preheated), lower middle rack for about 10 minutes. The pan makes 6 and the recipe was perfect for that.
Baked mine in the oven for 20 minutes at 425° yielded 6 biscuits in a muffin silicone. Also used mozzarella cheese. Yummo! ?
I don’t have an air fryer, but this recipe worked in my conventional oven – just took longer. (about 10 minuets)
Pretty tasty! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing that! Lots of people wondering.

So delicious!!! Just made a batch!
Thank you so much!!! I’m so glad I bumped into you guys on YouTube during my keto journey!
I hope it’s ok…I use the app carb manager and I added your biscuits along with ketoconnect to the name.
You are both awesome!
Can you replace almond flour with coconut flour? Daughter has a nut allergy so we limit our uses of nut flours.
It would be different measurements – coconut flour is very absorbent, so you usually need about 1/4 less than almond flour. If you try it, let us know!
These look awesome and I want to make these but don’t have an air fryer! Can you recommend another method or perhaps what temp to bake them at? Thanks!
I got up right away and went made these as soon as I saw this. They are now cooling before I eat one. So excited.
Just made this recipe with garlic, rosemary and mozzarella cheese (because that’s what I had at home)… SO GOOD!!
Hi! these look wonderful however we do not have an air fryer. would they work in a conventional oven?
I made these today in my oven and they came out great. I increased the temp to 425 and baked for 12 minutes.
Thanks for sharing that!
How would you store theses?
Airtight container in the fridge is usually the safest bet!
Cannot wait to make them tonight 9 /12
These are worthy to make up a biscuit mix to have on hand.
Yes I was thinking the same thing.
I have the new Instant (pot) Vortex Plus air fryer. The default bake is 365 but increased the temp to 400 as oer your recipe, it made 8 at once and at 7 min they were done with a cheesy, somewhat crunchy top. Easily could double this and cook 16 by using the second tray and rotating at half time.
Delicious. Can these freeze well? That would be a bonus.
I dont have an aor fryer.Can I use this same recipe in the oven?
Some people have done it successfully! Temp and cooking time seems to vary so you may need to experiment. Someone below said 425 for 12 minutes worked for her!
I made them in the toaster oven for around 8-10 minutes at 350.
These look fabulous- will definitely try. I love my air-fryer, too.
Have you tried other cheese? Gouda perhaps?
I tried it with half Gouda and half cheddar and it was equally delicious as just cheddar.
I made these in my toaster oven and they came out good. I doubled the recipe and made biscuits in a silicone muffin pan and then made flat rounds for sandwiches. Anyone know how long these can be stored?
Hi! Making these tonight! But the video said this was “another air fryer recipe” but I cannot find any others on your site. Am I missing them somehow?
Love this waiting for a air fryer biscuit recipe thanks
