Description
This easy and delicious Air Fryer Garlic Bread recipe transforms a classic favorite into a quick and crispy treat. Using a homemade garlic butter spread infused with parmesan and parsley, this method ensures perfectly golden, flavorful garlic bread in under 20 minutes with the help of an air fryer.
Ingredients
Bread
- 1 Loaf French bread (10-ounce, sliced)
Garlic Butter
- 1 Stick salted butter (½ cup, at room temperature)
- 2 Cloves garlic (minced)
- ¼ Cup parmesan cheese (freshly shredded)
- ¼ Cup parsley (finely chopped)
- ¾ Teaspoon garlic salt
Instructions
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a bowl, stir together the softened salted butter, minced garlic, freshly shredded parmesan cheese, finely chopped parsley, and garlic salt until all ingredients are well combined into a flavorful garlic butter spread.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's at the perfect temperature for crisping the bread evenly.
- Prepare the Bread: Spread a thick layer of the prepared garlic butter onto the top of each slice of the French bread, making sure to cover the surface completely for maximum flavor.
- Arrange in Air Fryer Basket: Lay the buttered bread slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, taking care not to overlap slices so that they cook evenly.
- Air Fry the Garlic Bread: Cook the bread in the preheated air fryer for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the tops turn golden brown and crispy. Depending on your air fryer size, you may need to do this in batches.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter to make mixing easier and achieve a smoother spread.
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling a bit of extra parmesan or parsley on top before air frying.
- If your bread loaf is larger or thicker, adjust the air frying time accordingly, checking frequently to avoid burning.
- Ensure bread slices are laid in a single layer to allow for even crisping.
- Store any leftover garlic butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within a week.
