Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 ounces French baguette
- 2 tbsp vegan butter
- 1 clove of garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp nutritional yeast
- 1/16 tsp salt omit if using salted butter
- 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 350 °F (175°C).
- Slice the baguette into 1-inch thick slices
- In a small bowl, mix together the butter, minced garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, and ground black pepper. Spread each slice of bread with a thin layer of garlic butter.
- Air fry for 5 minutes or until the bread is golden brown.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use bread with a thin crust. For the best texture, I recommend staying away from rustic bread with a thick crust. Once toasted, the crust tends to become too hard to chew. Use a baguette or French-type bread with a thin crust.
- Use fresh garlic. No dried garlic is allowed here!
- Season it to your liking. For an herby flavor, feel free to sprinkle dried oregano, thyme, or Italian seasoning on top of the bread before air-frying.
- Adjust the frying time. Depending on your air-fryer and the size of your bread, you might have to adjust a bit the cooking time. Open the air-fryer after 5 minutes, and cook for 1-2 more minutes if the bread is not golden brown enough.
- Serve immediately. This air-fryer garlic bread is best served immediately for the best texture.
- Top with fresh herbs. Right before serving, garnish each slice of garlic bread with either chopped parsley, cilantro, or green onions! It will not only add a pop of color but also freshness.
- Double the recipe. Feel free to double the recipe if serving to a crowd and air-fry in two batches.
