This Air Fryer Garlic Bread is proof that you do not need the oven to get perfectly crispy, buttery garlic bread. Golden, buttery baguette slices crisped to perfection in the air fryer, topped with garlicky Parmesan butter and a sprinkle of herbs.
The air fryer works its magic in just 4 to 5 minutes, giving you golden, toasty edges without heating up your whole kitchen. It is the ultimate quick side dish for busy weeknights, whether you are pairing it with a bowl of pasta or a simple soup. With just a handful of pantry staples, you probably already have everything you need to make this right now.
Helpful Tips
- Soften the butter fully: Room temperature butter spreads evenly over the bread, so you get consistent garlic and Parmesan flavor in every bite instead of clumps in some spots and bare bread in others.
- Butter both sides: Spreading the garlic butter mixture on the top and bottom of each slice ensures every bit of that baguette gets crispy and flavorful, not just the top.
- Do not overcrowd the basket: Arrange the bread in a single layer with a little space between pieces so the air can circulate and every slice crisps up evenly.
