How to Make Homemade Garlic Bread in the Air Fryer
Step 1: Preheat
Begin by preheating your air fryer to 350 F.
Step 2: Make Garlic Butter Mixture
In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, garlic, and parmesan cheese until the mixture is smooth. Spread it evenly over the bread loaf halves and then sprinkle evenly with kosher salt.
Step 3: Cook
Put your garlic bread in the air fryer and allow it to cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the tops are golden and crispy. Top the cooked bread with freshly chopped parsley before serving and cut it into smaller pieces if desired. Enjoy!
Serving Suggestions
Already wondering what to serve your garlic bread with? I’ll hook you up! Start with your cocktail of choice – I suggest a lambrusco spritz or Italian margarita.
Then, it’s time for pasta! You can serve your garlic bread with other things too, but I can’t separate pasta and garlic bread in my head so that’s what we’re going with today. This spicy sausage pasta is a delicious choice, or you could go with a classic pasta carbonara. If you want something lighter, try my Italian pesto pasta salad or Italian chopped salad.
FAQs
How long to cook garlic bread in air fryer?
In this recipe we cook our homemade garlic bread for 5-6 minutes in the air fryer on 350 degrees F. The time can vary based on which air fryer you use.
Can you reheat garlic bread in an air fryer?
You sure can! Pop it in the air fryer on 350F for about 2 minutes to heat it through and give it a little extra crisp. You can even add some leftover garlic butter spread on top if you have any.
Can you cook store-bought garlic bread in the air fryer?
A lot of storebought garlic bread can be made in the air fryer at the same temperature as this recipe. It may take a little longer since it’s cooking from frozen, so I’d recommend starting with 8 minutes and seeing how it goes.
