You can make air fryer cheesy garlic bread in minutes, and it's as gooey, stretch, crisp and crunchy as you could ever wish for.
I recommend using ciabatta for this recipe as it soaks up all the garlicky goodness, but baguettes (French sticks) work well too.
For the cheese, I like to use a combination of salted butter, mature/sharp cheddar cheese for a little sharpness, and mozzarella cheese for that classic stretch and chew.
And for that all important flavour, you'll use garlic granules, a little black pepper, and a handful of chopped parsley for freshness.
This recipe is so quick and easy, it's perfect if you've just whipped up some pasta, lasagne, pizza or gnocchi and want something delicious to serve with it. I make it all the time!
