Notes

Expert Tips:
  • Preheating your air fryer ensures even cooking and optimal crispiness. It helps the garlic bread achieve a consistent temperature throughout the cooking process.
  • To achieve the perfect crispy texture, make sure you don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Leave some space between each slice of bread to allow for proper air circulation.
  • Air fryers can vary in power, so it's important to monitor your garlic bread while it's cooking. Check it after 3-4 minutes and adjust the cooking time accordingly to avoid burning.
 
Variations:
  • Add grated mozzarella or cheddar cheese on top of the buttered slices before air frying.
  • Mix chopped sun-dried tomatoes into the butter mixture.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chilli powder to the butter mixture for an extra kick.

Air fryer garlic bread is best eaten warm, straight from the air fryer.
