How to Make Toast in an Air Fryer

Why air fryer toast is the best:

It’s so easy to make and the clean up is so simple.
The bread gets perfectly toasted in just a few minutes and you don’t have to worry about burnt toast or soggy toast.
You can toast up to 8 pieces of bread at the same time so if you are feeding a crowd you don’t have to worry.
There are tons of variations for toast in the air fryer including making Texas toast or garlic toast

What you need to toast bread in air fryer:

An air fryer – this is the one I use and love
Bread – either make your own or use store bought. Whichever you prefer.

Tips and variations for making toast in the air fryer:

Every model of air fryer is different, so you may have to adjust the cooking time if you are using a different model than I do.
The recipe card instructions are for a rack or oven style air fryer. If you have a basket style air fryer see the FAQ section below.
Don’t overlap the slices of bread when cooking or they won’t cook evenly – depending on the size of the air fryer you have and the bread you are using you may only be able to fit 1 or 2 pieces of bread on a rack or in the basket rather than 4
If you use the lower rack the slices on that rack will take 1-2 extra minutes to toast
Depending on the thickness of your bread you may have to adjust the cooking time
Top it with a little garlic butter either before or after cooking to create garlic toast in the air fryer
Turn this into Texas toast in the air fryer by coating the bread in garlic butter before cooking
To make this toast gluten free be sure to use gluten free bread
To make this toast paleo be sure to use paleo bread – this is my favourite paleo bread recipe

Topping ideas for air fryer toasted bread:

Jam – I love using my blueberry chia seed jam on this toast
Nut butters such as peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter or pumpkin seed butter
My vegan mascarpone
Turn it into avocado toast by adding some sliced avocado

Frequently asked questions:

Can you cook toast in an air fryer?

Yes! It’s so easy to do. All you need to do is toast the bread at 400F for 4-5 minutes.

What if I have a basket style air fryer?

If you have a basket style air fryer, place the pieces of bread in the basket in a single layer – note that most basket style air fryers are only large enough for 2 slices of bread to fit at a time – then close the air fryer and cook the bread for 3-5 minutes at 400F.
