Description

Craving crispy, golden garlic bread in minutes? This easy frozen garlic bread in air fryer recipe delivers a buttery, crunchy texture without the wait. Perfect as a side for pasta, soup, or salad, this method ensures even cooking and a delicious result every time.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices frozen garlic bread (Texas toast, baguette, or standard slices)
  • Optional toppings: shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan, fresh parsley

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat the Air Fryer – Set it to 350°F (175°C) for even crispiness. Some models don’t require preheating, but it helps with consistency.

2️⃣ Arrange the Garlic Bread – Place the frozen garlic bread in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space for air circulation. Avoid stacking slices.

3️⃣ Air Fry – Cook for 5-8 minutes, flipping halfway through for an even golden brown texture. Check at the 5-minute mark to prevent overcooking.

4️⃣ Add Toppings (Optional) – In the last 2 minutes, sprinkle shredded mozzarella or parmesan for an extra cheesy finish.

5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy – Remove from the air fryer and let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Cooking time may vary depending on the brand and thickness of the garlic bread. Adjust by 1-2 minutes if needed.
No need for oil—most frozen garlic bread already contains butter for a crispy texture.
To reheat leftovers, air fry at 350°F for 2-3 minutes until warm and crispy.
For extra crispiness, preheat the air fryer and avoid overcrowding the basket.
