Air Fryer Garlic Bread

Step 1

Preheat the air fryer to 350°F

Step 2

Cut the bread in a crosshatch (diamond) pattern: cut several rows one inch apart diagonally, and then a set of marks perpendicular to the first ones - again one inch apart. Cut until you reach the crust but don't cut all the way through.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together butter, olive oil, garlic, salt and parsley.

Step 4

Use your fingers to open each crack and spread a teaspoonful of the butter mixture in it. I used a brush to do this. (Save about 1 tablespoon of the butter mixture for later.) Stuff each crack with a pinch of mozzarella cheese.

Step 5

Wrap with foil and air fry for 15 minutes to melt the cheese.

Step 6

Then, unwrap the garlic bread and brush the surface with the remaining butter mixture. Air fry for an additional 5-8 minutes, or until crusty.

Step 7

Serve immediately!
