Notes

Garlic Bread in Air Fryer 

Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 350 degrees F . Place bread slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook for 5 minutes until light golden brown and crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes, serve warm and enjoy
