Air fryer garlic bread

Garlic bread

Crunchy edges, soft garlicky middle, and it takes six minutes.

The fan will lift anything loose, so this works best with a thick-cut base. Keep the butter well spread rather than in blobs and it will not catch.

Ingredients

Serves 4 · tap to check off

  • 1 ciabatta or baguette, halved lengthways
  • 80g soft butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • Handful parsley, chopped
  • Grated mozzarella, optional

Method

  1. Mix. Beat the butter with the garlic and parsley.
  2. Spread. Spread right to the edges so nothing scorches.
  3. Air fry. Cook at 360°F for 6 minutes, cut-side up.
  4. Melt. Add cheese for the last 2 minutes if using.
Test-kitchen tip

Cut the bread to fit the basket flat. Wedged in at an angle it toasts on one side only.
