This quick and easy 5 Minute Air Fryer Garlic Bread recipe transforms simple ingredients like white bread, garlic, butter, and parsley into a deliciously crispy and flavorful appetizer or side dish using the air fryer.

Ingredients

Scale

Garlic Butter Mixture

  • 4 Tablespoons salted butter (softened)
  • 23 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 Tablespoon parsley (minced)

Bread

  • 4 slices white bread or French bread (cut into small pieces)

Topping (Optional)

  • Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened salted butter, minced garlic cloves, and minced parsley. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, creating a fragrant garlic butter spread.
  2. Spread the Butter: Take each slice of bread and generously spread one side with the prepared garlic butter mixture. For an extra cheesy kick, sprinkle parmesan cheese on top of the buttered side if desired.
  3. Air Fry the Bread: Slice the bread into small strips or halves for easier handling. Arrange the pieces in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking. Set the air fryer to 400ºF and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the bread is crispy and the edges turn a light golden brown.
  4. Serve Immediately: Remove the garlic bread from the air fryer and serve hot to enjoy the crisp texture and rich garlic flavor at its best.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of garlic to your taste preference, adding more for extra garlicky flavor.
  • If you prefer a softer texture, reduce air frying time slightly.
  • Use gluten-free bread to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Parmesan cheese topping is optional but adds a nice savory flavor.
  • For best results, use fresh parsley and freshly minced garlic.
