Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Optional Dipping Sauce

Directions

1. I preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. I line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish.
3. I cut each biscuit into four equal pieces to create bite-sized portions.

5. I toss the biscuit pieces in the garlic butter mixture until evenly coated.
6. I sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese and gently toss again to distribute the cheese.
7. I arrange the biscuit bites in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
8. I bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuit bites are golden brown and fully cooked.
9. I remove them from the oven and immediately brush them with any remaining garlic butter.
10. I sprinkle fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese over the top.
11. I serve them warm with my favorite dipping sauce.

Variations

• I add ¼ cup shredded mozzarella before baking when I want extra cheesy biscuit bites.
• I mix in a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle spicy kick.

• I sprinkle everything bagel seasoning on top for additional texture and taste.

storage/reheating

I store leftover biscuit bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When I am ready to enjoy them again, I reheat them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5 to 7 minutes until warmed through. I also like using an air fryer for 3 to 4 minutes because it helps restore the crispy edges. I avoid microwaving whenever possible since it can make the biscuit bites softer and less crisp.

FAQs

Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of refrigerated dough?

Yes, I can use homemade biscuit dough if I prefer. I simply cut it into small pieces and follow the recipe as directed.

What is the best Parmesan cheese to use?

I find that freshly grated Parmesan works best because it melts more evenly and adheres better to the biscuit bites.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, I can prepare the biscuit pieces and coat them in the garlic butter mixture ahead of time. I keep them refrigerated and bake them just before serving.

What dipping sauces pair well with these biscuit bites?

I enjoy serving them with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, garlic aioli, or even a creamy cheese dip.

Can I freeze Garlic Butter Parmesan Biscuit Bites?

Yes, I can freeze the baked biscuit bites in an airtight container for up to 2 months. I reheat them directly from frozen in the oven until warmed through.

Conclusion

These Garlic Butter Parmesan Biscuit Bites are a simple yet flavorful appetizer that always disappears quickly. I love the combination of buttery biscuit dough, savory garlic, and rich Parmesan cheese that creates an irresistible snack or side dish. Whether I serve them with pasta, soup, or a selection of dipping sauces, these bite-sized treats deliver comforting flavor and satisfying texture every time.
