Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices of French bread or Italian bread (about 1-inch thick)
- 4 tbsp (60g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 garlic cloves, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried parsley)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic Butter:
- In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt until well combined.
- Spread the Butter:
- Spread a generous layer of the garlic butter mixture evenly over one side of each bread slice.
- Preheat the Air Fryer (Optional):
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes.
- Cook the Garlic Bread:
- Place the slices of bread in a single layer in the air fryer basket, buttered side up. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 5-6 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
- Optional Parmesan Topping:
- If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it on top of the garlic bread during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- Serve:
- Remove the garlic bread from the air fryer and serve immediately. Enjoy on its own or as a side dish with your favorite meal.
Notes
- Use a baguette, ciabatta, or sourdough for variety.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter.
- This garlic bread is best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes.
