What equipment do you need to make air fryer cheesy garlic toast?

To be honest, this recipe is super straightforward. You really only need two pieces of equipment to make it: an air fryer and a mortar and pestle. If you are missing one, or don’t have either, worry not! We will let you know how to adapt this recipe to what you have in your kitchen.

We love our air fryer. It uses convection air circulation to cook food quickly with a small amount of oil. Air fryer cooking is fast, easy, and low mess – it is such a great tool to have in the kitchen. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can totally still make this recipe. Pop the toasts on a baking sheet and throw them in the oven for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees. 

We use a mortar and pestle to mix up the garlic butter we use for this recipe. A solid marble or stone mortar and pestle is a fun kitchen tool to have, but it’s not necessary. If you don’t have one,  you’ll just need a bowl and spoon or masher to grind the ingredients together. 

How to make air fryer garlic toast

Preheat your air fryer before you begin!

  1. Add the butter, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to the bowl of a mortar and pestle. Mash the ingredients until everything is well combined. NOTE: If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, mash everything in a medium-sized bowl instead.
  2. Spread the butter mixture evenly over each slice of bread. Then, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top.
  3. Arrange the bread in the air fryer basket. Make sure the pieces are in a single layer, leaving a bit of space in between. Air fry until the cheese is golden brown and melted.

Tip: To save time, opt for Texas toast slices, and cook them in the air fryer until golden for easy air fryer Texas toast!
