Air Fryer Recommendations:
If you have been in the market to get an Air Fryer, here are some of my recommendations. We love using our air fryer. It has been a game changer as far as heating up frozen food to reheating leftovers.
It is so easy to use and my kids can easily cook in it. The food always comes out so crispy on the outside and perfectly soft on the inside. You can cook meat, vegetables, and even make canned biscuits.
How do I store leftover Garlic Bread?
If you have leftover air fried garlic bread, place in an air tight container for 3-4 days. Place in the refrigerator.
If you would like to freeze your leftover bread, store in a freezer zip lock bag. Before placing in the freezer or refrigerator, make sure the bread is cooled to room temperature.
To reheat your leftover bread, place in the air fryer for about 2 to 3 minutes to heat and to make crispy again. It comes out perfectly crispy again.

- Crispier Garlic Bread – If you like your bread extra crispy, add a few more minutes to your baking time.

- Italian Seasoning – We love to add the Italian Seasoning blend to the garlic bread. It is an easy way to change the seasoning.
- Parsley – We used dried parsley for this recipe, but fresh herbs are a nice change.
