Garlic Bread
Kid-FriendlyMeal-Prep
Softened butter is key to excellent air fryer garlic bread. You'll find that cold butter tears the bread and melted butter makes it greasy. Use room temperature butter and this recipe for perfectly toasted, flavorful slices in minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 French baguette or Italian bread, cut in half lengthwise
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder for a smoother spread)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan (optional but recommended)
- pinch salt

Steps
- 01Mix the softened butter, garlic, parsley, parmesan, and salt until well combined.
- 02Spread the garlic butter generously on the cut sides of the bread. Get it into every crevice.
- 03Cut each half into 2 to 3 pieces that fit your air fryer basket.
- 04Ready for the air fryer. Cook cut-side up.
Softened butter is key. Cold butter tears the bread. Melted butter soaks in too fast and you get greasy bread with no butter on the surface to crisp. Room temperature butter spreads evenly and toasts into a golden crust. Set it out 30 minutes before you start, or microwave for 8 seconds.
