Frozen Garlic Toast in Air Fryer - Fast, Crispy, and Buttery

Prep Time2 minutes
Cook Time6 minutes
Total Time8 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Frozen garlic toast (Texas toast–style or regular slices; any brand)
  • Air fryer (basket or oven-style)
  • Optional toppings: grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, red pepper flakes, chopped parsley, or a drizzle of olive oil
  • Optional dip: warm marinara or garlic butter

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 2–3 minutes. If your model heats quickly, 2 minutes is enough. Preheating helps the toast crisp evenly.
  • Place the frozen slices in a single layer in the basket. Do not thaw. Leave a little space between each piece for airflow.
  • Cook for 4–6 minutes at 350°F (175°C). Start checking at 4 minutes. Thicker “Texas toast” may take closer to 6–7 minutes.
  • Flip only if needed. If the tops brown too fast, flip at the 3–4 minute mark. Many brands don’t require flipping, but it can help with even color.
  • For cheesy toast: In the last 1–2 minutes, sprinkle mozzarella or Parmesan on top and continue cooking until melted and lightly browned.
  • Serve right away. Add fresh parsley or a pinch of red pepper flakes. Pair with marinara for dipping.
