Ingredients on a Butter Board

If you’re a cook, then you know that having all of your ingredients prepped and ready to go is key to a successful dish. But sometimes it can be hard to keep track of everything when you’re busy in the kitchen. A butter board can help make sure that you have all of your ingredients at hand, and it’s a great way to organize them too! Here are some tips on how to set up your own butter board.

Ingredients on a Butter Board
  • Butter: The key ingredient, I would recommend using a good quality butter such as Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter, Land O’ Lakes, or Vital Butter.
  • Garlic: Use freshly roasted garlic, the air fryer makes a quick roasted garlic spread.
  • Cheese: I used freshly grated Parmesan Cheese.
  • Capers: Add a lot of flavor, and texture to the board
  • Baguettes: Nothing is better for serving than fresh air-fried bagel chips!
  • Seasonings and Spices: Sea Salt, and Freshly Cracked Black Pepper

How To Make An Air Fryer Butter Board

How To Make An Air Fryer Butter Board

Set the butter out at room temperature to soften (for about 30-60 minutes – the butter needs to be soft to the touch so it will spread) Slice the bagel in half (so you have 2 sides shaped like a “C”) Cut the halves into thin slices, about 1/8” thick.

Place the slices on a baking sheet or cutting board and coat them with a thin layer of olive oil (I prefer to use cooking spray for this because it’s a lot easier than trying to drizzle olive oil evenly).

Season the bagels with garlic powder. Arrange the slices in a single layer in the air fryer (make sure pieces aren’t overlapping) and cook at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for about 7-9 minutes. You may need to do 2-3 batches to cook all the slices.

While the bagel chips are cooking, prepare the butter board. Spread the butter over your serving platter or board. Use a butter knife to create swirls/patterns in the butter. Place dollops of the smashed roasted garlic throughout the butter.

Sprinkle the rest of the ingredients evenly over the entire board. Serve immediately with the air fryer bagel chips and enjoy!

  • Nuts and Dried Fruit: Add some air fryer-roasted cashews, air fryer-roasted pecans, or even air fryer roasted macadamia nuts. You can also add some dried fruit, such as cranberries, air fryer apple fries, raisins, or even air fryer roasted pineapples.
  • Base: You can easily change the butter out for cream cheese! How yummy would that be, grab your favorite cream cheese, this would make for a great holiday brunch or breakfast!

How to Make Air Fryer Butter Board Viral Tiktok Recipe Ahead of Time and How To Store

If you have any leftovers or want to make this ahead of time, wrap the board with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for 5-7 days.

Allow sitting at room temperature for about 45 minutes to allow butter to soften before serving again.

Do I Have To Use Unsalted Butter?

I recommend unsalted butter for this recipe because of the saltiness of the other ingredients. Salted butter is a great option for butter boards with toppings that are more on the sweet side.

What Breads Can You Use For A Butter Board

When planning a butter board, it can be difficult to decide on the perfect breads to serve alongside melted butter or flavored spreads.

One option is to choose varieties with a sturdy texture that can hold up to spreading, such as baguette slices or sourdough bread rounds. Another option is to choose breads with unique flavors and textures, such as garlic knots or savory herb focaccia.

Of course, a butter board wouldn’t be complete without some sliced brioche or sweet Hawaiian rolls for added contrast. Experiment with different breads to find the perfect combination for your next butter board spread. Regardless of which breads you choose, don’t forget to top them off with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for the ultimate finishing touch.
