Air Fryer Garlic Bread is a simple combination of fluffy French bread, butter, and garlic that turns out to be perfectly crispy and unexpectedly heavenly.

We all know that crispy garlic bread makes a perfect snack or side dish for dinner. We often make it in the oven, but I have to say that the air fryer actually does an even better job of getting the outside nice and crisp while keeping the inside of the bread super soft.

You can make it in a small loaf or as individual slices, as we’ve done in this recipe. It takes under 5 minutes to toast the slices to perfection.

Helpful Tips

If you didn’t take the butter out of the refrigerator to soften, you can quickly microwave to soften it, making it easier to spread on the bread.
Don’t add too many slices of baguette to the air fryer; you need it to be evenly toasted. Put in only as many slices as you can fit in the basket in one layer. It’s quick to make, so you can always make it in batches.
You can be creative by customizing the garlic bread to your preference. Add more cheese or garlic or anything that works for you.
This recipe assumes you are not preheating your air fryer. However, if you’re making two or more batches, the air fryer will naturally be preheated for the 2nd batch, so you might find that you need a minute or two less cooking time for all batches after the first one.
