Garlic Bread in Air Fryer

We’ve all had garlic bread in some point of our lives.

In its simplest form, garlic bread is bread, topped with garlic and butter or olive oil.

Fancier garlic breads may include additional herbs or toppings like rosemary, oregano, cheese or chives.

Typically, garlic bread is baked in an oven or toaster oven, or grilled for some char.

But if you’re like me who loves air fryers, why not air fry the garlic bread instead?

What You Need For Air Fryer Garlic Bread

Equipment

I used the Cuisinart TOA-95 Digital AirFryer Toaster Oven for this recipe, but you can also use other air fryers like the Ninja Speedi.

Note that you may need to adjust timings when using different types of air fryers.

Ingredients

• Ciabatta Roll – You can use your bread of preference. I like Ciabatta Rolls because it is crispy outside and soft inside, which is what I love for garlic bread.
  
  You also get a bigger bread than a baguette but smaller than white bread.
• Fresh Garlic – You want fresh garlic that’s minced to get that delicious fresh garlicky taste.
• Butter/Margarine – Though you can use olive oil, I find the garlic bread will have a lighter taste so I prefer using butter/margarine to have a rich and creamier taste.
  
  I also find butter/margarine holds onto the garlic better so it’s easier to slather onto the bread without leaving bits of garlic behind.
  
  When using butter, make sure it is softened by leaving it at room temperature or microwaving to make it melt a little.

How To Make Garlic Bread In Air Fryer

It’s so simply to make garlic bread in the air fryer.

Slice the ciabatta roll horizontally so you have two slices.

You can do three if you prefer thinner pieces or more pieces.

Mix the butter or margarine with the minced garlic.

Spread the mixture evenly onto the cut side of the ciabatta.

If you want a cheesy garlic bread, top with cheese!

Air Fry the garlic bread until toasted to your liking.

Tips for Air Fryer Garlic Bread

Here are some quick tips for garlic bread in air fryer and might also help answer some of your questions.

• If you want to enhance your garlic bread with herbs and spices, add them when mixing the butter/margarine with the garlic.
• If you prefer a more toasted garlic bread, just set timer longer or increase the temperature.
• Depending on your air fryer, you might need to preheat before. I used an air fryer that doesn’t require preheating so that I don’t spend more time.
• Do not stack or overlap the garlic bread so that they toast evenly. I used the Cuisinart TOA-95 Digital AirFryer Toaster Oven exactly for this reason because I can make a good amount of garlic bread in one shot with its extra-large oven.
• When you already garlic bread, you might ask: can you put garlic bread in the air fryer? You sure can. It’s a great way to reheat garlic bread especially from the fridge or freezer.
