Grab a few slices of bread (either store-bought or homemade), some butter or olive oil, and your favorite herbs or seasonings. That’s all there is to it!

How To Air Fry Toast

Step 1: Add your seasonings

Spread olive oil or butter over each slice of bread, on one side only. Sprinkle herbs or seasonings evenly over the top, gently tapping to help them stick to the surface.

Step 2: Cook toast in air fryer

Place the slices of bread in the air fryer basket. Cook for 2-5 minutes at 320 degrees F, depending on how dark you prefer your toast to be.

Once your air fryer toast is done, slice and serve with additional toppings if desired!

Pro Tips:

  • Experiment at first. The cooking time will really depend on which air fryer you own, so try a test piece to figure out the right temperature and time.
  • Don’t overlap! Toast bread in the air fryer in a single layer for best results.
  • Adjust the cooking time. It may be different depending on the thickness of your bread.
  • Using an air fryer oven? Use the lower rack for your bread. Otherwise, it will tend to get dark too soon (and burn).
  • Allergy-friendly recipe: You can air fry toast with gluten-free or Paleo bread, and olive oil is naturally dairy free!

Can You Make Toast in an Air Fryer?

Yes, and this is especially helpful as you add new kitchen gadgets to your counters. For example, you may want to save some room and ditch your toaster.

Although some air fryers have a separate toast function, you really don’t need it. All you need to do is add your favorite seasonings and toast bread in the air fryer!

I especially love to air fry toast with an Air Fryer Grill Pan. It seriously makes some of the best toast I have ever had!

How To Make Plain Air Fryer Toast

I would highly recommend that you use either olive oil or butter, which will help to keep your bread moist. But if you are looking to make plain toast, this air fryer toast recipe will work precisely the same.

Can I Make Garlic Toast in the Air Fryer?

Absolutely! Slather your bread slices with butter, minced garlic, and Italian herbs, then toast in air fryer as directed. Easy peasy!

What Do You Put On Top of Toast?

The only limit is your imagination! Here are some of my family’s favorite toppings for air fryer toast:

  • Jam or Jelly
  • Cream Cheese
  • Peanut Butter or Nut Butters
  • Sliced or Mashed Avocado
  • Chicken or Tuna Salad
