4-5 garlic cloves, minced or 4 tbsp pre-minced canned garlic
4 tbsp parsley chopped
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese optional
½ cup shredded parmesan cheese optional
2 tbsp Italian spices optional
½ French baguette or rustic Italian bread loaf

Add bread slices to air fryer and cook at 350°F for 4-5 minutes, then an additional 2-3 minutes as necessary- be sure to check on bread after about 4 minutes, then every 2 minutes thereafter.

Cook from frozen

Cook frozen garlic bread beginning at 325°F for approximately 3 minutes, then 350°F for an additional 3 minutes. Check frequently.

Notes

Storage

Store in a refrigerated, air-tight container for up to 3 days after cooking. Alternatively, you may freeze for up to a month in a tightly sealed freezer bag.

To freeze

Use a sharp knife cut the French bread into 1-inch thick slices (about a dozen or so total). Spread about 1 tablespoon of garlic paste over the each.
Place the slices on a baking sheet and put them in the freezer for about 30 minutes to harden up. Transfer each slice of the garlic bread to a gallon-sized freezer bag once it has solidified.
