Method
- 1
Mix diced tomatoes, basil, minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Let sit 15 minutes.
- 2
Brush baguette slices with olive oil on both sides.
- 3
Air fry at 375°F for 4-6 minutes until golden and crispy.
- 4
Rub the cut garlic clove across each warm toast (it melts into the bread).
- 5
Spoon tomato mixture onto toasts. Top with shaved Parmesan. Serve immediately.
Pro tip. The garlic rub on warm bread is the secret step most people skip — it infuses the toast with subtle garlic flavor. Use the ripest tomatoes you can find; this dish lives or dies by tomato quality. Let the topping marinate at room temperature to develop flavor.
Why the air fryer wins here
- Fast-moving hot air browns the outside before the inside dries out, so you get color without babysitting.
- Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.
Storing and reheating
Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.
Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes rather than the microwave so the outside crisps back up. See the reheat guide for exact times by food.
