Recipe FAQ
Yes, of course! Assemble the garlic toast and arrange the pieces in a single layer on a baking pan and freeze for 1-2 hours. When the bread is frozen, transfer the pieces to a container and stack them up. When ready to cook, remove the desired amount of pieces and cook from frozen for 5-7 minutes or to desired crispiness.
It’s not necessary for this recipe. If you prefer to preheat the air fryer, you may need to adjust the cooking time by a couple of minutes depending on your air fryer.
Storing
- Store. In an airtight container or bag in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Reheat. Refrigerated or frozen garlic bread in the air fryer at 350° F for 2-5 minutes or until heated through.
- Freeze. You can freeze leftover cooked garlic bread toasts in a freezer bag for up to three months. Reheat them when ready to enjoy it for another meal.
