Air fryer 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.

• 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.

4. Melt. Add cheese for the last 2 minutes if using.
