Air fryer Texas toast is a quick and easy way to make a delicious, crispy side dish or snack. Here’s a simple recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
- 4 slices of Texas toast (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons of butter (melted)
- 1-2 cloves of garlic (minced) or 1 teaspoon of garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat for a few minutes.
- Prepare the Toast:
- If you’re using store-bought Texas toast, you can use it directly. If you’re using homemade Texas toast, cut your bread into thick slices (about 1/2 to 1 inch thick).
- Season the Butter:
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic or garlic powder if you’re using it. You can also add chopped parsley for extra flavor.
- Butter the Toast:
- Brush one side of each slice of Texas toast with the seasoned butter mixture. Be generous for a nice, crispy crust.
- Air Fry the Toast:
- Place the buttered slices of Texas toast in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 4-6 minutes, or until the toast is golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t burn.
- Serve:
- Once done, remove the Texas toast from the air fryer and sprinkle with a little salt if desired. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Customize Flavors: Feel free to experiment with different herbs or spices in the butter mixture, such as Italian seasoning, paprika, or even a pinch of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
Enjoy your crispy, buttery Texas toast!
