Equipment

air fryer

Ingredients

1 loaf french bread (or 2 smaller loaves)
¼ cup olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic (about 4 to 5 garlic cloves)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Cut the bread to fit the length of your air fryer, but keep it in long loaves. Cut each loaf in half lengthwise to create open faced loaves.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
Using a pastry or basting brush, brush the oil and garlic mixture evenly on top of each piece of bread.
Place the split loaves in the air fryer with the oil side facing up. Air fry at 370 degrees F for 5 minutes. You might need to cook the bread in batches if all of it does not fit in a single layer.
Remove the bread from the air fryer and cut into even-sized slices.

Notes

Make sure to use fresh garlic for the best flavor!
Don't overcrowd the air fryer. If you do, the bread will not cook evenly.
