Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ loaf Italian or french bread
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 to 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ tablespoon minced fresh parsley or use 1 teaspoon dried
  • ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste or as needed

Instructions

  • Cut the bread into ¾-inch thick slices.
  • Mix butter, olive oil, garlic, parsley and salt together in a small bowl , until well combined.
  • Spread some garlic butter on one side of each slice.
  • Place 2 or 3 slices into your air fryer basket and cook at 340°F for 4 to 5 minutes, or it is golden brown on top. Remove and cook the remaining slices.
    Tip: We do not preheat the air fryer for this recipe. This ensures that the garlic browns slowly and lets the butter melt into the nooks and crannies of the bread slice.

Notes

Avoid stacking the slices in the air fryer as you want them to be evenly toasted.
Use softened room temperature butter.
Make a large batch - Double the recipe and cook in batches.
Use a softer bread such as Italian or French bread and not baguettes.
