Instructions
Prepare the garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread the garlic butter: Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture on one side of each bread slice. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if using.
Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes.
Arrange the bread: Place the bread slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer, buttered side up. Do not overcrowd.
Air fry: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 4-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Serve immediately: Remove from the air fryer and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Chef's Tips
- Fresh Garlic: For the best flavor, use fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder.
- Even Browning: Check the bread halfway through cooking and rearrange if needed for even browning.
- Herb Variations: Add dried oregano or basil to the garlic butter for extra flavor.
- Cheese Options: Try mozzarella or cheddar cheese for a different twist.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes.
