Air-fryer For even and quick toasting
Small Bowl For mixing garlic butter
Brush or Knife For spreading the butter mixture
4 slices thick-cut bread Texas toast or any thick bread 4 tablespoons butter softened for easier spreading 1 teaspoon garlic powder for an even garlic flavor ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste 1 tablespoon parsley optional, for garnish ¼ cup shredded mozzarella or parmesan optional, for cheesy toast
Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (188°C) to ensure even toasting.
In a small bowl, mix softened butter, garlic powder, and salt until well combined.
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over each slice of bread. Sprinkle with parsley and cheese if using.
Place the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overlapping to allow proper air circulation.
Air fry for 4-6 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Check after 4 minutes to prevent over-browning.
Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately for the best texture.
For extra crunch, increase the cooking time by 1-2 minutes.
If using frozen Texas toast, add 1-2 extra minutes to the cooking time.
Experiment with different seasonings like Italian herbs or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
