Ingredients
Melted Butter
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Italian Seasoning
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Refrigerated Biscuit Dough
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Mini Pepperoni Slices
- 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices
Instructions
- Preheat and prep – Set your oven to 375°F (or preheat your air fryer to 350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Mix the topping – In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
- Prep the biscuits – Open the biscuit can and separate the dough. Flatten each piece slightly with your fingers.
- Add the fillings – Place a small amount of mozzarella and a few pepperoni slices in the center of each dough round.
- Seal the bombs – Carefully pinch the edges together to seal the filling inside. Roll gently into a ball.
- Bake or air fry – Place the sealed dough balls seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with the seasoned butter. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or air fry for about 8 minutes, until golden brown.
- Serve hot – Let them cool for a few minutes, then serve with marinara or ranch dip!
Notes
- You can substitute the mini pepperoni with diced regular pepperoni or turkey pepperoni.
- Brush extra melted butter on top after baking for extra shine and flavor.
