Making garlic bread in the air fryer is a quick and easy way to achieve a crispy and flavorful result. Here’s a simple recipe for air fryer garlic bread:
Ingredients:
- Baguette or Italian bread
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Salt to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C).
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt. Adjust the salt according to your taste.
- Slice the Bread: Cut the baguette or Italian bread into slices. Make sure not to cut all the way through, leaving the slices attached at the bottom for easy handling.
- Spread Garlic Butter: Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on both sides of each bread slice. Make sure to get the mixture into the crevices between slices.
- Wrap in Foil (Optional): You can wrap the garlic bread in aluminum foil to prevent it from becoming too crispy. This is optional and depends on your preference.
- Air Fry: Place the garlic bread in the air fryer basket. If wrapped in foil, make sure the foil is not covering the top. Air fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
- Check and Adjust: Check the garlic bread halfway through the cooking time. If you want it crispier, you can flip the slices and continue air frying for the remaining time.
- Optional Parmesan Topping: In the last minute of cooking, you can sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the garlic bread for an extra layer of flavor. Allow it to melt and become golden.
- Serve: Once done, remove the garlic bread from the air fryer. Let it cool for a minute, then serve warm.
Enjoy your delicious homemade garlic bread from the air fryer! Adjust the cooking time based on your air fryer model and personal preferences for crispiness.
