FAQs

How do I prevent the bread from flying into the fan?

I haven’t had my toast fly around during the cooking process. But to prevent that from happening, you can use toothpicks or a small baking racks to wave that toast down as it air fries. If using an oven style air fryer, place the bread in between trays, or on the lower rack.

What toppings go well with toast?

Some of my favorite air fryer toast toppings are avocado toast, jelly, honey, or just butter. This toast also makes amazing cinnamon toast. For extra protein, you can add peanut butter, almond butter, an egg and make Air Fryer Eggs in a Basket. 

What type of bread works best for perfect toast?

I prefer white bread, sourdough, or Texas Toast. But you can use any bread type that you prefer.

Can you make French Toast in the air fryer?

Yes! French Toast and French Toast Sticks are SO easy to make in the air fryer. Just top with syrup or fresh fruit and you have another delicious breakfast.

    I’m still learning how to use my new oven/air fryer. The toast I made was too dark. Next time I’ll set back the amount of time.

    It’s even better if you spread melted butter on at least one side before you stick it in the air fryer.
