Skip the shop bought garlic bread and make this air fryer garlic bread in 8 minutes from the comfort of your home. Not only is it easy to make, it tastes so much better too.

We enjoy it as an appetizer with this sauteed peppers and onions or side to pasta dishes like this instant pot chicken pasta, 30 minutes spaghetti Bolognese and creamy mushroom pasta.

Air Fryer Garlic Bread Recipe

I do not want to sound like a broken record today, so I am going to spare you all the reasons why I think you need an air fryer in your life if you don’t have one already. Now that I have cleared the air, I am going to tell you some few facts.

The best crispy bacon I have ever made was in my air fryer, check out my air fryer bacon recipe for proof. Also, the best and I mean the absolute sandwich toast I have ever made was also in the air fryer. In fact, my children wouldn’t have their sandwich toast any other way now. Who can blame them, it is amazing!

I look forward to breakfast now because I can make perfect toast in the air fryer in less than 5 minutes. I am in love with my air fryer! Period!

Why you should make this air fryer bread recipe

Back to today’s recipe, who needs store bought premade fresh or frozen garlic bread when you can make yours under 8 mins. Easy and quick garlic bread cooked to perfection. It is crusty, crunchy and delicious.

We love and enjoy eating dough balls or garlic bread with our pasta dishes especially when it is a meatless Monday. In fact, I already have the oven-baked easy garlic bread recipe on the website, you should check it out.

Here are a few reasons why you need to make your own garlic bread at home at all times.

  • It is quick, easy and very affordable.
  • You can control the amount of garlic and butter you add to the bread.
  • It doesn’t contain preservatives like the shop bought

Ingredients

French baguette: You can use any other artisan or crusty bread of choice. Ciabatta is a popular choice too. If you do not have any of the above, use a thick sliced bread instead.

Butter: I recommend you use slightly salted quality butter. It adds a great ton of flavour to the bread. It is best the butter is at a room temperature or you can microwave it for few seconds to make it easily spreadable.  

Garlic: I used fresh frozen garlic paste. You can also use garlic granules/powder or freshly minced one if you desire

Parsley: fresh or dried parsley works a treat for this recipe.

Variations

Cheese: to make this cheesy garlic bread, top with parmesan or any melting cheese of choice. Mozzarella or cheddar would work well here.

Jalapeno: we all love a bit of kick, red pepper flakes is a great option too.

Salt and freshly ground black pepper: skip the salt if you are already using salted butter

How to make garlic bread in air fryer

Preheat the air fryer at 180C/360F

Slice the French baguette diagonally to about 1-inch slices, I use Cosori XL air fryer and I am able to fit about 9 slices in the basket. This can also be made in batches too

To a small bowl, add butter, garlic, parsley and mix to combine

Spread the softened garlic butter on the slices of bread and set aside.

Arrange the bread slices in the basket and air fry for 6 to 8 minutes. Do 8 minutes if you like it really crunchy. Serve with pasta or pizza and enjoy!

Note: If using cheese, add it about 2 to 3 minutes to the end of the cooking time.

  • Also, if you don’t like your bread crunchy, start checking from 5 minutes. I do believe the 8 minutes is just perfect.
