Air Fryer Garlic Bread Ingredients
- Bread- I use half a loaf of French bread. You want a firm and slightly crusty bread, so you can also use a French Baguette or thicker bread for a Texas Toast Garlic Bread
- Butter-softened
- Garlic Cloves- Fresh garlic makes the best garlic toast, but garlic powder can also be used
- Parsley Flakes-dried or fresh parsley
How to Make Buttery Garlic Bread in Air Fryer
-
Slice half of a loaf of bread lengthwise. Then cut bread into evenly sized slices. If you are going to use the entire loaf, work in batches as they fit in your air fryer basket, or on your air fryer trays.
-
To make the garlic butter, use a small bowl, combine butter, minced garlic, and parsley flakes. Stir together to evenly distribute the ingredients into the butter.
-
Use a bread knife to spread butter mixture on each slice of bread.
-
Place slices of bread in the air fryer basket and air fry at 370 degrees Fahrenheit for 4-6 minutes, until toast is golden and crispy.
Air Fryer Garlic Bread Tips:
For a cheesy garlic bread, you can use any combinations of cheeses. Our favorites are grated parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, or mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle cheese on top of bread after toasting, and then return to air fryer additional cook time of 1-2 minutes until cheese melts.
If using frozen bread, add 1-2 minutes to cook time. I use a Cosori 5.8 Quart Air Fryer to make this recipe. Cooking times may vary depending on size and wattage of air fryer.
FAQS
This garlic bread is a perfect side dish to a comforting bowl of soup, paired with your favorite meal, or alone as a quick snack.
That is a personal preference to thickness, and taste. For a crispy garlic bread, I suggest using fresh bread, like a French Loaf, Baguette, or Ciabatta Bread.
I only use olive oil if something will stick to the basket. This garlic bread did not stick, but you can always add a light brushing of oil if you prefer.
This toast is best when freshly made. For leftovers, keep bread sealed in an airtight container. Store in the fridge for 3-5 days. To reheat, place in the air fryer for 2-4 minutes, until warm and crispy.
