Instructions
 

Garlic Toast

  • Place garlic toast in the air fryer basket butter side up in a single layer.
  • Set the temperature to 380° and air fry for 5 minutes, or until golden brown. 

Garlic Bread

  • Split the loaf down the middle where it is precut and cut each half into 4 pieces. 
  • Place in the air fryer basket in a single layer, buttery side up.
  • Set the temperature to 380° and air fry garlic bread for 4 minutes, or until golden brown. 

Notes

    • Check your bread after about 1-2 minutes before you think it might be done. Air fryer temperatures vary and you want to make sure your bread doesn’t get overcooked.
    • This one is really important – subsequent batches of bread will probably have a little bit shorter cook time because the air fryer is already hot. I would start checking 2-3 minutes before you think it might be done.
