Air frying frozen garlic bread is a great way to achieve a delicious and crispy texture within a few minutes. They are also widely referred to as Texas toast garlic bread. An ideal snack for a quick munch.
Frozen garlic bread cooked in an air fryer has more crispiness and golden outside while maintaining a soft, fluffy inside. It can be cooked in an air fryer more rapidly and effectively than in a traditional oven, which is one of the benefits of doing so. While preserving the interior’s moisture and tenderness, the hot air moving inside the air fryer produces a crispy surface.

Do You Need To Thaw Frozen Garlic Bread?
No, it is not necessary to thaw frozen garlic bread before cooking them in the air fryer. You can put the frozen garlic bread slices straight in the air fryer. Because if you thaw the bread slices so they won’t turn out soggy and will lack crispiness. When cooked from frozen, the hot air circulating in the air fryer will cook the bread more quickly and efficiently, creating a crispy exterior while keeping the interior moist and tender.
How Long Does Frozen Garlic Bread Take In The Air Fryer?
The cooking time for frozen garlic bread in an air fryer can vary depending on the thickness and type of the garlic bread, as well as the specific model of the air fryer used. However, as a general guideline, 6-8 minutes are required to cook frozen garlic bread.
For a crispy and crunchy texture, I would suggest cooking at a slightly higher temperature around 380 F for 6 minutes. If you don’t like more crispy bread slices then cook at 330 F for 6 minutes.

What To Serve With Frozen Garlic Bread
Frozen garlic bread can be a tasty addition to many meals. They can be served as appetizers, breakfasts, or snacks. Below are some ideas:
Soups and stews: I like garlic bread with beef stew. They are a comforting and filling addition to soups and stews.
Salads: You can also have garlic bread with salads. They are a nice contrast to the fresh and light flavors of a salad, such as a Caesar salad or Greek salad.
Grilled meats: Grilled meat is also another choice. Garlic bread can be a great side dish for grilled meats, such as steak and chicken.
Vegetables: Vegetables like Brussels sprouts, asparagus, broccoli, or zucchini that have been roasted or grilled go well with garlic bread.

No oil spray is required for this recipe. You can enjoy garlic bread in an absolutely oil-free style.
You can cook garlic bread toast even without preheating your air fryer. But you must adjust the cooking time accordingly.
You can add or remove garlic bread according to the size of your air fryer basket.
If you are cooking garlic bread toast in an oven-style air fryer then place the rack in the middle because the top racks will cook faster than the bottom ones.
