Ingredients
  

1 French baguette or Italian bread

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined and creamy.

    Slice the Bread: Cut the baguette or Italian bread in half lengthwise. If using a larger loaf, slice it into smaller pieces for easier handling.

      Spread the Mixture: Generously spread the garlic butter mixture over the cut side of each bread half. For extra flavor, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning on top of the buttered bread, if desired.

        Air Fry the Bread: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C). Place the prepared bread halves, cut side up, in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer).

          Cook: Air fry the garlic bread for about 5-7 minutes, or until it is golden brown and crispy on the edges. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn't burn.

            Cool and Serve: Once done, carefully remove the garlic bread from the air fryer and let it cool for a minute. Slice into individual pieces and serve warm.
