Make Ahead Tips

Meal prep: store leftover garlic bread in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. When you reheat it, don’t microwave it for more than 10 seconds. You can also quickly air fryer or bake the garlic bread until it has warmed through. Be careful not to over toast it.
Prepare for the freezer: once you’ve spread the garlic butter mix onto the bread, freeze them in a single layer. Once frozen, transfer them into an airtight container before storing them in the freezer. When you’re ready to enjoy, air fryer them straight from frozen at 340F for 5-7 minutes.
