  • Total Time: 7 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 French baguette, sliced diagonally into 3/4-inch thick pieces
  • 4-tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2-teaspoon salt
  • 1/4-teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 2-tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Mix softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and Parmesan (if using) in a small bowl.
  2. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 2 minutes.
