Essential Ingredients
- 3 slices of bread
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp heavy cream (or milk)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley flakes
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, cut the bread slices into bite-sized pieces. Typically, cutting them into 4 pieces makes them easy to handle and eat.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the garlic butter sauce. In a bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon of flavorful minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of sweet brown sugar.
Step 3
Add 1 teaspoon of heavy cream (or milk) for richness and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. Microwave for about 40 seconds to 1 minute, just until the butter is melted and all ingredients are smoothly combined. Be careful not to overheat.
Step 4
Finally, stir in 1/2 teaspoon of dried parsley flakes for a fragrant touch. Mix well until the sugar granules dissolve and the sauce is uniformly blended. Your delicious garlic sauce is ready!
Step 5
Now, let’s prepare for baking. If using an air fryer, arrange the bread slices on the tray in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap. This allows for even cooking and crisping.
Step 6
Using a brush or spoon, spread the prepared garlic sauce thinly and evenly over each bread slice. Make sure to cover the edges too for maximum flavor.
Step 7
Place the bread in the air fryer and cook at 170°C (338°F) for 6 to 8 minutes. Keep an eye on them during cooking to prevent burning.
Step 8
Voila! Your golden-brown air fryer garlic bread is complete. The inviting appearance and rich garlic aroma are sure to whet your appetite.
Step 9
To ensure maximum crispiness all around, transfer the finished garlic bread to a wire rack to cool slightly. Enjoy your incredibly crispy on the outside, moist on the inside bread slices while they are warm. Enjoy!
