Ingredients
  • 1 loaf Bread (Italian or French loaf)
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese (optional)

Prepare the Garlic Butter

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley, salt and garlic powder.

Prepare the Bread

Slice the bread lengthwise. Spread the garlic butter evenly over the cut sides of the bread.

Air Frying

Place the bread in the air fryer basket, butter-side up. If necessary, cut the bread into smaller pieces to fit in the basket. Avoid overcrowding the basket.

Cooking Time

Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and toasted to your liking. Keep a close eye on the bread to prevent burning.

Serving

Remove the garlic bread from the air fryer and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese (optional). Slice and serve immediately.
