Baguette: I have used French Baguette in this recipe. You can use any bread of your choice!
Butter: I prefer salted butter while making garlic bread, but you can also use unsalted butter. Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature.
Garlic: Fresh, minced garlic works best for this recipe. It gives a great flavour. You can also use garlic powder in its place.

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

Garlic Bread tastes best when served immediately. As time goes by, the crust of the bread hardens. If you have leftovers, 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 in the recipe and omit the cheese.
If desired, add red chilli flakes on top. 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. If your basket cannot fit all the bread slices, cook in multiple batches.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, you can use any crusty bread like sourdough, baguette, or even a day-old loaf for a chewier texture.
Absolutely! Replace the butter with vegan butter and either skip the cheese or use a vegan cheese alternative.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, use the air fryer or a preheated oven.
