Air Fryer Garlic Bread
This cheesy, buttery air fryer garlic bread is crispy outside, soft inside, and ready in 7 minutes at 350°F. Made with fresh garlic, herbs, and parmesan, it's the easiest side for pasta night, soups, or any weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 - 5 tablespoon salted butter, softened to room temperature
- 3 - 5 large garlic cloves, minced
- ⅓ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, more if desired
- 2 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
- 1 baguette, French bread or ciabatta
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 350°F.
- Make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, half of the parmesan, parsley, and a pinch of salt.
- Cut the bread: Cut the loaf in half lengthwise. Depending on the size of your air fryer, cut the baguette into quarters or a size that will fit flat in the basket. Avoid thick rounds, which brown at the edges before the center heats through.
- Spread and top: Spread butter mixture over each piece of bread, place them in the air fryer in a single layer, and sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese on top.
- Air fry: Air fry for 5 to 7 minutes, until golden and the cheese is slightly crispy on top. Sandwich bread needs 3 to 5 minutes.
- Serve: Garnish with extra parsley, cut into individually sized pieces (if desired), and serve warm.
