This recipe offers a swift and satisfying approach to garlic bread using the air fryer, yielding a crispy, buttery result in minutes. Ideal for a quick appetizer or side, this version pairs rich garlic flavor with a touch of cheese for added indulgence.
Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Cut the baguette into slices approximately 2 inches thick. In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, and parmesan if using. Stir until fully blended. Spread the garlic butter mixture generously over each slice of bread. Lightly grease the air fryer basket and arrange the slices in a single layer. Air fry for 4–5 minutes or until the bread is golden and crisp. Repeat the process with remaining slices until all are cooked.
