Ingredients

  • 4 slices of crusty bread about ½ inch thick see note 1
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 2 teaspoons Crushed garlic
  • 4 tablespoons Salted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Mixed dried herbs
  • 1 teaspoon Finely grated parmesan

Instructions

  • Cut Bread: Slice bread into 8 pieces, about ½ inch thick. The size of you Air Fryer and the size of your bread will dictate how many slices of garlic bread you can fry at one time and how many “cooks” you’ll need to do to get all 8 done.
  • *Optional* but recommended: Rub a peeled clove of garlic over each slice of bread on one side – which will be the side that the garlic butter goes onto.
  • Make Garlic Butter: Add softened room temperature butter, garlic, herbs and parmesan to a small bowl and mix together.
  • Spread: Spread garlic butter over breads evenly all the way to the sides.
  • Arrange: lay pieces of bread flat into the air fryer basket, making not sure to overcrowd the basket as you want the air to be able to circulate around.
  • Air Fry: Cook for 4 minutes at 180 degrees C/ 350 degrees F, then check it to see if its done to your liking. If not, continue cooking for another minute or two.

Notes

  1. Bread: I used Panne Di Casa.  Other suitable breads include Ciabata, Turkish, and baguette
  2. Garlic: Bottled of freshly crushed is fine, however I do recommend a fresh clove of garlic for rubbing onto the bread before you put the garlic butter on – it really adds really great flavour.
  3. Butter: Use a good quality salted butter.  Alternatively margarine will work as well.
  4. Mixed Herbs: Dried or fresh is good.  I sometimes use the masterfoods dried mixed herbs, other times, I finely dice fresh parsley or basil.  I tend to find the fresh diced herbs add more flavour.
  5. Parmesan: finely grated is best so that it disappears into the garlic butter and provides that salty sharpness to contrast with the garlic and herbs.
