This super simple recipe for Air Fryer Garlic Bread makes the perfect buttery garlic bread. Ready in 5-10 minutes!
This crispy and perfectly toasted air fryer garlic bread is perfect as a side for simple pasta dinners, to dip into sauce, or with a hot bowl of soup.

Why You’ll Love This Air Fryer Garlic Bread
- It’s super fast and easy, making it perfect for a weeknight dinner. It only takes 5 minutes in the air fryer for a batch.
- They’re freezer friendly so you can always have some ready to enjoy!
- You can customize the garlic bread to your own tastes. Want it to be more garlicky? Go for it! More cheesy? Do it up! You’ve got the power to make it however you like!
What You’ll Need to Garlic Bread in the Air Fryer
- Softened butter — I use unsalted butter
- Garlic
- Parmesan cheese
- Dried parsley
- Baguette — sliced to your choice of thickness. You can also use ciabatta bread if you’d like.
How to Make Air Fryer Garlic Bread
- Mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, parmesan cheese, and dried parsley.
- Spread the mixture onto sliced baguettes or bread of your choice.
- Place the garlic bread into your air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry at 350F for 5 minutes.
Tips
- Feel free to adjust the time to how crispy you like your bread. H likes the garlic bread closer to 3-4 minutes whereas I prefer 5 minutes in the air fryer.
- This recipe was tested in the Philips XXL air fryer which doesn’t require preheating. Preheat if your air fryer requires it.
- Avoid stacking these garlic breads in the air fryer as you want them to be evenly toasted.
- These air fryer garlic bread goes well with my Instant Pot Meatballs.
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.

I made this recipe over the weekend and it was perfect! I usually make garlic bread in the oven, but I had two lasagnas cooking in there, so there was no room. I use my air fryer for a lot of things but never thought about garlic bread. I quickly googled ‘air fryer garlic bread’ and bam, there was your recipe! So glad I found it. I’ll be checking out more of your air fryer recipes soon. Thanks for sharing this one!
