Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen garlic bread bites
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This ensures that the garlic bites cook evenly and get crispy.
- While the air fryer is preheating, take a mixing bowl and add 1 cup of frozen garlic bread bites. These can be store-bought or homemade, but make sure they are frozen for best results.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the frozen garlic bread bites. This will help them crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of garlic powder over the bites. This will enhance the garlic flavor and give an extra kick.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of chopped parsley to the bowl. This not only adds flavor but also gives a nice color to the bites.
- Toss the ingredients in the bowl until the garlic bread bites are evenly coated with olive oil, garlic powder, and parsley.
- Once the air fryer is preheated, place the coated garlic bread bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they cook evenly.
- Cook the garlic bites in the air fryer for 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C). After 5 minutes, shake the basket to ensure even cooking.
- After the cooking time is complete, check the garlic bites for crispiness. If they need more time, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, checking frequently to avoid burning.
- Once done, carefully remove the garlic bites from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving plate.
- Allow the bites to cool for a minute, then serve warm. Enjoy your delicious air fryer garlic bites as a snack or appetizer!
Tips
- Always preheat your air fryer to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.

- Use fresh, high-quality olive oil for the best flavor enhancement.
- Experiment with additional seasonings like red pepper flakes or grated parmesan for extra flavor variations.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and temperature.
