Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 French baguette or Italian bread loaf
- 4 tbsp (60 ml) unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic
Seasoning and Herbs:
- 2 tsp dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
Topping:
- 1/4 cup (25 g) grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Slice the bread diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces, ensuring uniform thickness for even toasting.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then mince garlic cloves into fine, aromatic pieces.
- Combine melted butter with minced garlic, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl, creating a fragrant herb-infused spread.
- Brush each bread slice generously with olive oil on both sides, ensuring complete coverage.
- Drizzle the garlic-herb butter mixture over each slice, spreading evenly to coat the surface.
- Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the prepared bread slices, adding a savory and crispy element.
- Arrange bread slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding to ensure crisp edges.
- Air fry at 375°F for 3-4 minutes, checking midway to prevent burning and rotating for uniform golden-brown coloration.
- Remove from air fryer when edges are crisp and golden, with a slightly crunchy texture and rich garlic aroma.
- Let cool for 1-2 minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle and prevent burning the mouth.
Notes
- Slice bread carefully to maintain uniform thickness, guaranteeing consistent toasting and crispy texture throughout.
- Use room temperature butter for smoother mixing and better absorption of garlic and herb flavors into the bread.
- Select high-quality, crusty bread like French baguette or sourdough for maximum crunch and better structural integrity during air frying.
- Adjust cooking time based on bread thickness and air fryer model, watching closely to prevent burning while achieving golden-brown perfection.
