Ingredients
- Bread (baguette or Italian bread recommended)
- Butter, softened
- Garlic cloves, minced
- Dried parsley (optional)
- Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the bread: Slice your bread into 1-2 inch thick slices.
2. Make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, dried parsley (if using), and Parmesan cheese (if using). Mash everything together with a fork until you have a spreadable mixture.
3. Spread the garlic butter: Spread a generous amount of the garlic butter mixture onto one side of each bread slice.
4. Air fry: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the bread slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap.
5. Cook: Air fry the garlic bread for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
6. Serve: Let the garlic bread cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Tips
- For a richer flavor, use a mixture of olive oil and butter for the garlic spread.
- You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter for a bit of heat.
- If your bread is very thin, you may need to reduce the cooking time to avoid burning.
- Keep an eye on your air fryer while the garlic bread is cooking, as it can brown quickly.
Enjoy your delicious air-fried garlic bread!
