I think the best way to make a crispy piece of toast every time is to use an air fryer. An air fryer will give your toast a perfect golden brown crust.
And air fryer toast is less likely to burn than toast made in a conventional oven or toaster.
You can make this crispy toast on busy mornings when you don't have time to make big breakfasts or brunch.
❤️ Why this recipe works
- Air fryer toast is quick and easy to make.
- Perfect toast every time.
- No more burnt toast!
🥖 Ingredients
- Bread. Use 100% whole wheat bread, white bread, Texas toast, or multigrain bread. You can also use homemade whole wheat bread, air buns, or bagels.
- Butter or margarine, optional. I used margarine.
♨️ How To Make Air Fryer Toast
Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the bread in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Ensure the bread doesn't overlap. Cook in batches if needed.
Step 2: Air fry the bread for 3-5 minutes until crispy and golden brown. If you like your bread light brown, check after 3 minutes. If you want your toast browner, it may take up to five minutes. Remove the toasted bread from the air fryer, add butter or margarine if desired, and serve immediately.
Add your favorite toppings, spread, or jam to make it more flavorful! You can also top your golden toast with avocado, cheese, or nut butter.
📖 Variations
- French Toast. Cook french toast or toast sticks in the air fryer. Top with maple syrup.
- Garlic toast. Brush butter on the toast and top with garlic powder.
- Vegan: Easily make vegan toast by using vegan bread and vegan butter.
🌡️ Storage
To store leftover toast for next time, place it in an airtight container or bag. It will stay fresh for up to two days.
To reheat the air fryer toast, place it back in the air fryer and cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about two minutes. Your air fryer toast will taste like you just made it!
