These Grilled Garlic Butter Biscuits are incredibly simple and delicious. I use refrigerated biscuit dough and a favorite garlic-bread seasoning to make them—perfect alongside almost any main course or a plate of pasta.
Traeger Garlic Butter Biscuits
These biscuits are so straightforward they hardly need a formal recipe. If you’ve never thought to turn biscuit dough into garlic bread, prepare to be pleasantly surprised—it’s quick, satisfying, and tastes fantastic.
For convenience I used one tube of refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough. If you prefer to make your own biscuits from scratch, go ahead—this method works just as well with homemade dough. Likewise, use your favorite garlic butter or garlic spread; I often reach for a pre-mixed garlic spread seasoning, but a homemade garlic butter works beautifully too.
The technique is simple: melt butter, stir in your garlic seasoning, pour some into the baking dish, nest the biscuits inside, brush them with garlic butter, and grill until golden. That’s it.
These biscuits are excellent for dunking in soup—try them with a hearty bowl of Zuppa Toscana or a plate of spaghetti and meat sauce.

How To Make This Recipe
Below is a concise overview so you can see the process at a glance. Use the full recipe card later in the post when you’re ready to cook.
- Preheat – Heat your pellet grill to 350°F (175°C).
- Prep – Melt the butter and stir in the garlic seasoning. Pour about half of the garlic butter into the baking dish. Place the biscuits in the dish (they can touch) and brush the tops with more of the garlic butter. Save some butter to brush on after baking.
- Bake – Place the baking dish on the grill over indirect heat. If your grill runs hot underneath, set the dish on an inverted high-sided cake pan or rack to add clearance from the heat source. Bake 15–20 minutes, until golden and fully cooked.
- Brush – Once the biscuits are done, brush them with the remaining garlic butter for extra flavor and shine.
- Enjoy – Serve warm with pasta, soup, or your favorite main dish.

Recipe FAQ
Yes. It took me years to try it, so it’s worth sharing—sometimes the simplest ideas are the best.
Because the dough comes refrigerated, it’s best to bake it soon after opening. There’s no need for significant advance prep with this recipe.
