Ingredients

Bread

1 French baguette (8 oz), halved lengthwise

Butter

4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp grated Parmesan

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

¼ tsp salt

Equipment

Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

1
Mix softened butter with minced garlic, Parmesan, parsley, and salt until combined.
2
Halve the baguette lengthwise. Spread butter mixture generously over the cut sides.
3
Place cut-side up in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 350°F for 4-5 minutes until edges are deeply golden and butter is bubbling.
4
Cut into portions and serve immediately while the crust is still crackling.

💡

Tip: Use softened butter, not melted — melted butter soaks into the bread and creates soggy spots instead of a golden crust. If your butter is cold, microwave in 5-second bursts until just spreadable.
