Air Fryer Garlic Bread: A Quick and Easy Recipe
Who doesn't love garlic bread? It's a classic side dish that pairs perfectly with pasta, pizza, soup, or even just enjoyed on its own. But sometimes, you don't have the time or energy to heat up the oven and bake it the traditional way. That's where the air fryer comes in! This appliance can make perfectly crispy garlic bread in just a few minutes, with minimal effort.
Here's what you'll need:
- 1 baguette
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the baguette slices.
- Place the baguette slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they're not overlapping.
- Air fry for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top of the garlic butter mixture.
- If you prefer a more intense garlic flavor, you can use more garlic.
- If your air fryer basket is small, you may need to cook the baguette in batches.
- You can use any type of bread you like for this recipe, but a baguette works best.
