Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 3 medium garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 loaf French bread
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine together the softened butter, crushed garlic, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley.
- Cut bread loaf in half lengthwise. Cut off the ends if the loaf is too long for the air fryer. Cut each half into 2-3- inch wide pieces, but don't cut them all the way through.
- Spread the butter mixture evenly over each bread half.
- Place into the air fryer at 360° F. Air fry for 4-6 minutes until perfectly crisp and a little golden.
- Top with a sprinkling of chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
-
- Make sure to pull your butter from the refrigerator at least an hour in advance to bring it to room temperature. You need soft butter to make the garlic butter.
-
- Using fresh garlic will give you the BEST garlic flavor.
- Add cheese. Two minutes before the end of cooking, add a sprinkling of your favorite shredded melty cheese to the garlic side of the bread.
- Spicy bread. Make is spicy by adding in red pepper flakes to the butter mixture before brush it onto bread.
- Bread will last 1-2 days in the refrigerator in airtight container, but the texture will probably be affected.
