Garlic bread becomes extra crispy and cheesy in an air fryer, and it’s one of the fastest snacks you can make at home.
🧄 Cheesy Garlic Bread in Air Fryer
🧀 Ingredients
- Bread slices (French bread, baguette, or sandwich bread)
- 2–3 tbsp butter (softened)
- 2–3 garlic cloves (minced) or 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper (optional)
- 1 tsp parsley or oregano (optional)
- ½–1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella works best)
👩🍳 Method
1) Make garlic butter
Mix softened butter with garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs until well combined.
2) Spread on bread
Spread a thick layer of garlic butter on each slice.
3) Add cheese
Top generously with shredded cheese (don’t be shy—this is “cheesy” garlic bread).
4) Air fry
- Preheat air fryer to 180°C (350°F)
- Place slices in a single layer
- Cook for 5–7 minutes until:
- cheese is melted and bubbly
- edges are golden and crispy
If you want extra browning, add 1–2 more minutes.
