Air Fryer Garlic Bread

This air fryer garlic bread is fast, delicious, and needs just a handful of ingredients. Buttery, cheesy, and ready in minutes. 

There’s something special about freshly made garlic bread that is piping hot and oozing with garlic butter and a hint of cheese. I reckon it’s the only reason why my family allows me to make pasta several times a week because they know I’ll whip up a batch of garlic bread in the air fryer!

Ingredients needed

This cheesy garlic bread needs just four ingredients to whip up. Here is everything you will need:

• White baguette. A French baguette is thinner than other cuts of bread which means a quicker cooking time. You can also use French bread, ciabatta, or Italian bread.
• Salted butter. This recipe needs just a handful of ingredients so make sure to use a good-quality butter from a block, not a spread. Also, make sure your butter is ar room temperature for easy mixing.
• Garlic cloves. Always freshly mince your garlic, as it has the best flavor. Minced garlic in a jar can work as a last resort.
• Fresh parsley. Finely chopped.
• Parmesan cheese. Optional, but grating a little parmesan cheese on top of the bread before air frying it takes it to the next level!

How to air fry garlic bread 

Prepare the bread: Slice the baguette into 2-inch thick slices.

Make the garlic butter: Add garlic, dried parsley, softened butter, and parmesan cheese in a mixing bowl.

Spread: Add a generous amount of garlic butter mixture to the slices of the baguette.

Cook garlic bread in the air fryer: Place the slices of bread in a single layer in the air fryer basket and air fry for 5-6 minutes or until nicely golden.

Repeat the process until all the garlic bread is cooked up.

Can I bake this?

No air fryer? No problem! You can bake the garlic bread in the oven instead!

Simply follow the prep instructions then when ready to bake, add them to a preheated oven and bake at 180C/350F for 8 minutes.
