Remember that delicious taste from convenience store snacks? When you’re craving spaghetti, don’t let those leftover bread slices go to waste! Revive them from the freezer. With just butter and minced garlic from your pantry, you can whip up the easiest garlic bread ever in a mere 5 minutes. Crispy, flavorful, and incredibly simple – let’s make some air fryer garlic bread!
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- A pinch of parsley flakes
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, cut the bread slices into bite-sized pieces. Dividing them into 4 equal parts makes them easy to hold and eat – perfect for snacking or serving to kids!
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Microwave for about 20-30 seconds until softened. Be careful not to overheat it.
Step 3
To the melted butter, add 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, and a pinch of parsley flakes. Stir everything together well to create a delicious garlic butter spread. The balance of sweetness and garlic is just perfect.
Step 4
Arrange the cut bread pieces in a single layer on your air fryer basket or a tray, making sure they don’t overlap. Then, generously spread the prepared garlic butter mixture evenly over the top of each bread slice. Ensure a good coating to keep the bread moist and flavorful.
Step 5
For an even crispier and more flavorful experience, don’t forget to spread the garlic butter mixture all the way to the edges of the bread. This ensures every bite, including the crust, is delicious.
Step 6
Now, preheat your air fryer. Carefully place the buttered bread slices into the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping. This allows for even cooking and crisping.
Step 7
Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for just 5 minutes. You’ll have perfectly golden and delicious garlic bread! It’s a good idea to quickly check them halfway through to prevent burning.
Step 8
Once they come out of the air fryer, let the hot garlic bread rest for about 1 minute before serving. This allows them to cool slightly and become even crispier. While delicious immediately, this brief rest enhances the ‘crispy outside, soft inside’ texture. Arrange them neatly on a plate and enjoy your homemade garlic bread!
