Ingredients

3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup salted butter, softened (or unsalted butter with 1/4 tsp salt)
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tsp dried parsley)
Parmesan cheese (optional)
Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, softened butter, and parsley. Mix well until fully incorporated.
- Spread the garlic butter mixture generously on one side of each bread slice.
- If desired, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes.
- Cut the bread slices into smaller pieces for easier serving.
- Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 350ºF for 3–5 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy to your preference.
- Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Add shredded mozzarella or extra parmesan for cheesy garlic bread.
- Use garlic powder (1 tsp) if fresh garlic is unavailable.
- Replace butter with vegan alternative for a dairy-free version.
- Try other breads like ciabatta, sourdough, or baguette.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for best texture.
