Ingredients

¼ cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter (at room temperature)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 baguette (sliced into 1/3-inch slices)

Instructions

In a small bowl, blend together the butter, garlic, olive oil, Parmesan, and salt until well combined. Spread the mixture on one side of the baguette slices.
Place the slices in the air fryer in a single layer. Air fry the garlic bread slices for 3 to 6 minutes, until done to your liking.

Notes

Reheating Garlic Bread in the Air Fryer

Preheat the air fryer to 350°F.
Heat the slices for 1-2 minutes until warm.
Wrap in foil if you prefer softer bread.

You can also reheat air-fried garlic bread in a preheated 350°F oven for 2 to 3 minutes. Wrap the bread in foil before reheating in the oven to keep it tender.

Freezing Air-Fried Garlic Bread

Freeze uncooked sliced (with garlic butter) on a tray until firm, then store in an airtight bag for up to 3 months.
Cook from frozen at 350°F for 5-7 minutes in the air fryer or the oven, or thaw and air fry as directed.

Leftover cooked garlic bread can also be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for a day. Reheat as directed above.
