Ingredients
Scale
Garlic Butter Mix
- 4 tbsp butter (softened)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced) or 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped) or 1 tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan (optional)
Bread
- 1 loaf French or Italian bread (or any bread of choice)
Instructions
- Mix the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic (or garlic powder), chopped parsley (or dried parsley), salt, and Italian seasoning. If you’re using Parmesan cheese, stir it in now to add extra flavor.
- Prep the Bread: Slice your loaf of bread into halves or thick slices, depending on your preference. Spread the prepared garlic butter mixture evenly over each piece to ensure every bite is flavorful.
- Air Fry: Arrange the bread slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook the bread for 4-6 minutes, or until it is golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Serve & Enjoy: Remove the garlic bread from the air fryer and allow it to cool for a few seconds. Serve warm as a delicious side or appetizer, perfect to complement any meal.
Notes
- You can substitute garlic powder for fresh garlic for convenience, but fresh garlic will provide a stronger flavor.
- Use fresh parsley for a more vibrant flavor or dried parsley if that’s what you have on hand.
- Adding Parmesan is optional but adds a nice savory, cheesy touch.
- Ensure the bread slices are placed in a single layer in the air fryer basket to cook evenly and become crisp.
- Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the bread and your air fryer model; keep an eye to avoid burning.
