Tap a step to highlight it, or turn on Cook Mode for large type and step-by-step focus.

  1. Mix the butter, garlic, parsley and salt. Heat the air fryer to 180°C / 355°F.

  2. Split the baguette lengthways and cut each half into pieces that fit the basket.

  3. Spread the garlic butter over the cut sides, right to the edges.

  4. Cook cut side up for 8 minutes until golden and crisp at the edges. Cut into slices and serve hot.

Worth Knowing Before You Cook

Spread the butter right to the edges for a crisp crust.

Check at 6 minutes if your machine runs hot.

Add grated cheese for the last 2 minutes if you like.

Ingredient Swaps

  • An eighth of a teaspoon of garlic powder per clove is the usual stand-in when you are out of fresh garlic — it will not caramelise the same way, but it carries the flavour.

Storing and Reheating

Best eaten straight away. Unbaked garlic bread freezes for up to 2 months.
