Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine 115 g unsalted butter, softened, 4 cloves garlic , minced, 15 g parsley, chopped, ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp white pepper powder, and 45 g Parmesan cheese, grated. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Slice 1 baguette into thick slices without cutting all the way through, keeping the bottom intact so the loaf stays connected.
Spread the garlic butter mixture between each slice, making sure the mixture is evenly distributed throughout the baguette.
Place the baguette in the air fryer basket and air fry in a preheated air fryer at 390°F (200°C) for 8–10 minutes, until the bread is crispy and the Parmesan is melted and golden.
Let the garlic bread cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

Slice Carefully: I like to cut the baguette into thick slices while keeping the bottom attached, so the bread holds together nicely after air frying.

Use Soft Butter: I find softened butter much easier to mix with the garlic, parsley, and Parmesan, and it spreads better between the slices.

Don’t Overfill the Cuts: A little garlic butter between each slice is enough. Too much can make the bread feel heavy instead of crisp.

Best Served Warm: I find the texture is best straight from the air fryer, while the edges are crispy and the center stays soft and buttery.
