Can I make Air Fryer Savory Cheddar and Chive Biscotti ahead of time?

You can prep the ingredients and seasoning ahead, but air fry close to serving for the best texture.

How do I keep this recipe from turning soggy?

Cook in a single layer, leave space for airflow, and avoid adding too much oil or sauce before the food has crisped.

Can I adjust the seasoning?

Yes. Keep the same cooking method and adjust salt, spice, herbs, citrus, or sauce to match your taste.

How do I know the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend is done?

Use the visual cues in the instructions first: the outside should be browned or crisp and the center should be hot and tender. For meat or seafood, confirm doneness with a food thermometer.

Ingredients for Air Fryer Savory Cheddar and Chive Biscotti

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, beat the egg with the Greek yogurt and olive oil until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped fresh chives evenly throughout the dough.
On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into a log approximately 10 inches long and 2 inches wide.
Place the dough log on a piece of parchment paper and carefully place it into the air fryer basket.
Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for 15 minutes, until the log is lightly golden and cooked through.
Remove the biscotti log from the air fryer and transfer to a cutting board; allow to cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick biscotti pieces.
Arrange the biscotti pieces cut side down in a single layer back in the air fryer basket.
Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for an additional 3 minutes, flip the biscotti, then air fry for another 3 minutes until crisp and golden on both sides.
Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack to achieve maximum crispness before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tips

Air Fryer Model Notes

Cook Air Fryer Savory Cheddar and Chive Biscotti in a single layer when possible. Basket models may need batches; oven-style models may need a tray rotation halfway through for even browning.

Crispiness Control

Pat the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend dry, avoid crowding, and use only a light coat of oil or sauce before cooking. Add wet sauces near the end when you want the outside to stay crisp.

Doneness Cues

Look for browned edges, a hot center, and the texture described in the instructions.

Reheat In The Air Fryer

Reheat leftovers at 325 F to 350 F in a single layer until hot and crisp again. Add fresh herbs, citrus, or sauce after reheating.
