Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Ingredients
  

For the garlic butter:

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the bread:

  • 1 large French baguette sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • Optional garnish:
  • Extra chopped parsley
  • Extra grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

Step 1: Make the Garlic Butter

  • In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  • Tip:
  • Use room temperature butter for easy blending and spreading.

Step 2: Prepare the Bread

  • Slice the baguette into ½-inch rounds. Spread a generous layer of garlic butter on each slice.
  • Tip:
  • Cover the entire surface of each slice for perfect flavor in every bite.

Step 3: Air Fry the Bread

  • Arrange the buttered slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 4–6 minutes, until golden and crispy.
  • Tip:
  • Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

  • Sprinkle with extra parsley and Parmesan if desired. Serve warm.
  • Tip:
  • Let them cool for a minute to make handling easier without losing crispness.

Notes

Fresh garlic and parsley deliver the best flavor.
Try variations like cheesy garlic bread or herb-infused butter for extra twists.
Best enjoyed fresh from the air fryer for ultimate crispness.
