Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 360° Fahrenheit. If desired, lightly spray air fryer basket with cooking spray.
Once air fryer is preheated, place frozen garlic bread loaf in air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd air basket. Work in batches as needed depending on size of bread or air fryer basket.
Place air fryer basket in air fryer. Cook garlic bread 5 minutes, then open air fryer and check bread doneness. If needed, return basket to air fryer and air fry bread another 2 to 3 minutes, or until garlic bread is lightly golden brown.
Use tongs to carefully transfer bread to cutting board. Let bread cool 1 to 2 minutes, then carefully slice loaf and serve as desired.
Recipe Notes
This method works for any brand and any type of frozen garlic bread, including frozen garlic bread loaves, pre-sliced frozen garlic bread, Texas Toast, and gluten-free garlic bread. If you're using a frozen loaf, cut the loaf in half before air frying it, so it will fit better in the basket.
Cook times will vary depending on the size and thickness of the garlic bread, your preferred doneness, and the number of slices you're air frying (if using pre-sliced bread). Keep an eye on the toast and adjust as needed.
If working in multiple batches, later batches won't need as long in the air fryer as earlier batches.
