Ingredients
Garlic Butter
- 4 tbsp softened butter
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- 1/4 tsp dried parsley or basil (optional)
Bread
- 1 loaf French baguette
Instructions
- Prepare garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and grated parmesan cheese together until well combined.
- Slice the bread: Cut the French baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices for even cooking and optimal texture.
- Spread garlic butter: Generously spread the prepared garlic butter mixture on each bread slice. Use double the amount if you prefer a stronger garlic flavor.
- Arrange in air fryer: Place the buttered baguette slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap for uniform crispiness.
- Air fry: Cook the slices at 350°F (175°C) for 5 to 8 minutes until the edges are crispy and golden brown. You may increase cooking time by 1-2 minutes to achieve your preferred level of crispiness.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy the garlic bread hot from the air fryer for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Store leftover garlic bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
- Reheat garlic bread in the air fryer at 350°F for 2 to 3 minutes to restore crispiness.
- Freeze uncooked garlic bread slices on a lined baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag; keeps up to 3 months.
- To reheat from frozen, air fry at 340°F for 6 to 8 minutes until heated through and crispy.
