Air Fryer makes perfect garlic bread in just a few minutes. The bread is golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside. Homemade garlic butter + cheese topping makes the bread more addictive and makes you ask for more.
Everyone loves good garlic bread! Why? Because it bursts with flavours in every piece you take. It is super easy to make, and anyone can put this together. It can be a great appetizer, a quick after-school snack, a perfect side, and a warm soup or Pasta bowl. My daughters enjoy helping me make this recipe because it is that easy!
I have always made garlic bread in the oven, and the air fryer made my job much easier. It gets done quicker and tastes so much better, in my opinion!
Why do I prefer homemade Garlic Bread?
I love Garlic Bread! I was introduced to this delicious appetizer when I was in school. Those famous Pizza Joints in India were more popular for serving such good garlic bread.
Homemade Garlic Bread gives you the power to adjust the amount of garlic, butter and cheese that goes in. I like biting on the garlic pieces and do not like too much cheese in my bread. I am sure each one of you has a different taste and would prefer one over the other.
Also, you can use fresh and quality ingredients while making this at home. More than anything, you know you are using real butter in your recipe! While it’s okay to eat store-bought garlic bread once in a while when it’s this easy to make it at home, why wait?
Air Fryer Garlic Bread is buttery, garlicky, filled with cheese and everything that makes your mouth water!
Try making this garlic bread at home; I promise you will never return to store-bought ones!
Ingredients
The Best Part about Garlic Bread is, that it requires ingredients that are usually available in everyone’s pantry. Let’s see what is required to make this Easy Air Fryer Garlic Bread today!
Baguette: I have used French Baguette in this recipe. You can use any bread of your choice!
Butter: I prefer using salted butter while making garlic bread. You can use unsalted butter as well. Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature.
Garlic: Fresh, minced garlic works best for this recipe. Fresh garlic gives a great flavour. You can use garlic powder in its place.
Cheese: I have used a mix of grated parmesan and mozzarella cheese here. You can use either one or a mix of your choice of grated cheese.
Seasoning: This Garlic bread is seasoned with Italian Seasoning and Dried Parsley
How to make Air Fryer Garlic Bread
Cut the Baguette into thick slices.
Add softened butter to a bowl and mash it well. Mix well with minced garlic, seasonings, and cheese to the butter.
Generously spread the garlic butter mixture on the bread slices.
Preheat the air fryer to 350F for 5 minutes. Spray the air fryer basket with oil or non-stick spray.
Place the bread slices in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 350F for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
Serving & Storage Instructions
Garlic bread can be served as a snack or an appetizer. It can also be had along with soup, pasta, salad etc. Try serving this air fryer garlic bread with
Asparagus & Cauliflower Soup, Butternut Squash Coconut Milk Soup,
Garlic Parmesan Spaghetti
Garlic Bread tastes best when served immediately. As time goes by, the crust of the bread hardens. If you have leftovers, you can refrigerate them in an air-tight container for upto 3 days. Re-heat in an air fryer at 350F for 2 minutes till the garlic bread gets warm.
Tips and Variations
You can adjust the amount of garlic used in the recipe. You can also omit the cheese if you wish to.
Add red chilli flakes on top if desired. You can also add fresh parsley, and pepper powder to this recipe.
Every air fryer is different. The cooking time depends on your air fryer and the texture you desire. Keep an eye after 3 minutes of cooking time. If you prefer a softer crust, you can remove it at 3 minutes.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer. Cook in multiple batches if your basket cannot fit all the bread slices.
