You all love my best garlic bread so much that an air fryer version was a must! The buttery, garlicky magic is faster, crispier, and easier.
Why this version is better than the oven
- Faster than the oven. You can make garlic bread with an air fryer in just a few minutes. So no need to wait! Perfect for busy nights.
- Perfect texture every time: Crisp golden edges with a soft, buttery center. No clumps, no spread, and the texture is great!
- Tastes like you like: It’s easier than ever to enjoy the buttery, garlicky flavor of your favorite garlic bread.
Air Fryer Garlic Bread Ingredients
- Make it cheesy! For cheesy garlic bread, add shredded mozzarella cheese to the butter mixture.
- Use softened salted butter. When an appropriate amount of salt is added, it spreads easily and dissolves into every nook and cranny.
- Try using different types of bread. Italian, sourdough, and French bread all work great. Cut the bread into sizes that will fit into the air fryer basket.
How to make garlic bread in an air fryer
Next time you pass by the fresh French bread aisle at the grocery store, try making some garlic bread in this simple air fryer! It’s ready in minutes and is the perfect side dish to pasta dishes, especially easy baked spaghetti.
- prep: If preheating is necessary, preheat the air fryer to 350°F. Cut 1 loaf of French bread in half lengthwise and separate the top and bottom. Place the cut side up and set aside. In a small bowl, mix together softened butter, minced fresh garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and shredded Parmesan cheese.
- diffusion: Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of each bread half.
- Water Splash: Place the bread in the preheated air fryer and bake for 5 to 6 minutes. Top with fresh parsley. Slice the bread thickly and eat it warm.

Perfect crispiness: Adjust cooking time to suit your level of crispiness. Six minutes is about right for me, but if you want deeper crunches, try going one minute longer.
