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 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 made these this morning.., love that i can finally eat biscuits and still have the flavor of a good biscuit and be low carb.. been on keto two months have lost 18 pounds which is good for me since i have hypothyroidism and fibromyalgia .. still got a long way to go but i am finding keto is helping me a lot..
Helen says
This is so easy and i don’t have to heat up the whole house with the oven. I baked for 6 min then flipped them over and baked for 1-2 min more depending on how thick they were. Wonderful with sausage gravy! Thanks!
Deborah Eiger says
This was wonderful. The entire family enjoyed them. Thank you.
Katie says
Closest thing to Red Lobsters Cheddar Bay Biscuits, minus the dash of cajun. I didnt use a silicon mold or air fryer as the ones in the picture, but plopped the batter mixture on parchment paper on a cookie sheet, set oven to convection 400 degrees and let go a few minutes past the 10 min. time to get the golden hue. Would make again!
Lisa Cicciarelli says
Can you use coconut flour instead?
Miranda (KetoConnect) says
Coconut flour and almond flour aren’t 1:1 ratios, so it would be a pretty different recipe!
Chamz says
Hey, thanks for the recipe. But can i pop them in the oven if i dont have an airfryet? ?
Miranda (KetoConnect) says
You definitely can! There should be some helpful conversion charts online if you google, so you can figure out the right temp/time in an oven.
Lillian says
I used the print function and it spit out all these weird measurements. .67 cups; 1.33 cups, etc. They turned out very badly. Burned on top, raw on bottom. Good flavor.
Tammy Kuhns says
I was wondering if it’s 167 calories per biscuit. I actually made mine smaller and got 13 out if the batch.
Leslie says
This recipe is really good and super easy. The only adjustment (besides adding cooked sausage) was to lower the temperature. I used the silicone muffin molds and at 400 deg the tops browned but was still runny in the middle. 360 for 10 minutes worked for me on the next batch.

What is the best Air Fryer?
Sherri Barnes says
Can you bake these in oven? If so temperature and time.
Dawn Berger says
This is one of my all-time favorite recipes. Even my non-keto-eating loved ones loved them! Oh, and adding a sml amt of chopped jalapeños is quite tasty if you like a bit of spiciness.
Delia González says
Love it. Puedos también ponerlos al horno. A que temperatura si los quiero hacer en el horno.
Vicky Mount says
These biscuits are absolutey fantastic!!! So delicious!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Milena says
Hello!
Im new to cooking in general and to keto, so i have a dumb question: a serving is one small or large biscuit?
Thanks in advance, love your videos!
Vicky Mount says
The serving size she used was for the small biscuit.
Pamla L Harvey says
I love this recipe. Please keep up the air fryer recipes. Love you guys!
Karen D says
My air fryer has a bake setting as well, would you use the air fry or bake setting. I’m confused.
Vicky Mount says
I’ve done both. I prefer the air fry.
Popsy says
Absolutely delicious and so easy to make. Most of my keto bakes are disastrous but these are great. I only made half the amount stated as I knew I’d eat them all in one go so needed to limit myself!
Marlo Smith says
Hey love these biscuits; could I make breadcrumbs out of themto use in meatloaf???
Kt d says
We love these biscuits! Definitely my husband’s favorite keto bread-type item.
One note though; we cook these in silicone muffin molds. When we make the large ones, they tend to not cook all the way in the middle in the time given. So we usually just make a bunch of little ones, and that works great for us. I also recommend taking them out and flipping them so the bottoms get crispy too.
Jen says
Have made this many times, the best quick biscuits! Only thing is the top browns faster than the insides cook, so what I find is that if I cook halfway (about five minutes) and then use a fork to flip them over inside the silicone cups, the bottom browns up also after the remaining time. Like jenny maybe my air fryer runs hot or only heats from the top down but filling them doesn’t take long and results in evenly brown biscuits 🙂
Jen says
