Garlic bread in the air fryer

1. Preheat Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Garlic Butter:
   • In a bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Slice Bread:
   • Cut the Italian bread or baguette into slices, about 1 inch thick. If using a baguette, you can cut it at a slight angle for larger slices.
4. Spread Garlic Butter:
   • Spread a generous amount of the garlic butter mixture on one side of each bread slice.
5. Arrange in Air Fryer:
   • Place the garlic buttered bread slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

1. Air Fry:
   • Air fry the garlic bread at 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
2. Optional Flip:
   • If you’d like both sides of the garlic bread to be crispy, you can flip the slices halfway through the cooking time.
3. Serve Warm:
   • Once done, remove the garlic bread from the air fryer, and serve warm.

Enjoy your air-fried garlic bread as a delicious side dish or appetizer. It pairs well with pasta, salads, or as a tasty accompaniment to various meals.
