This air fryer pizza monkey bread recipe is very similar to my Pepperoni Mozzarella Monkey Bread but it's made the traditional way, in the oven.
Another fun refrigerated biscuit dough recipe kids will love would be air fryer pizza pockets. You could use pizza dough or even biscuit dough to create the hand-held pockets.
I also used my Garlic Butter Recipe for this recipe. This garlic butter recipe is delicious and as you can tell I've used it for a number of different recipes.

Air Fryer Cooking Tips
I personally own the Hamilton Beach 2.6 Quart Air Fryer. It's a basket type air fryer and it works great for our family. I would like to upgrade to a tray style air fryer in the future.
- Always preheat your air fryer.
- Don't overcrowd the basket or tray.
- If you're cooking French fries, chicken nuggets, tatertots, etc, shake the basket half-way through cooking to make sure nothing is sticking.
- Also, about halfway through cooking, I like to spray the food with either non-stick cooking spray or cooking oil in an aerosol bottle.
