Air Fryer Toast
Since I’ve begun cooking almost everything in my air fryer I’ve been gradually eliminating unnecessary kitchen appliances, like my toaster! I am a fan of making my toast using the air fryer since it is perfect every single time.
It is possible to forget about toast that is soft (or worse, burnt toast). This method always will yield perfectly toasted results for an easy breakfast or snack.

ADVANTAGES OF USING AN AIR FRYER
It may seem odd to make use of an air fryer to cook toast. There are many advantages!
Air fryers typically hold more bread slices than a toaster. The basket of my air fryer holds four slices of bread, whereas my toaster can only accommodate 2 slices at a time. So, an air fryer reduces the amount of time required to toast several bread slices.
It’s much less likely to burn the pieces of toast when you use your air fryer.
Air fryers can possibly reduce cross-contamination for food allergies. For instance, my family isn’t gluten-free and they use our toaster oven for regular bread. If I used the same toaster for toasting, it could be contaminated. Thus, an air fryer is a good option for toasting the bread.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS AIR FRYER TOAST RECIPE
- Big batches: Depending on the size of the bread, the air fryer can toast up to eight slices of bread at once. So, if you need to make many toasts, it is more efficient than the 2-slot toaster.
- Plant-based: Toast can be plant-based for a wide range of vegetarian, vegan and omnivore-friendly snacks. (And it is gluten-free as well as low-carb bread are usually also plant-based.)
- Customized: Have toast for a snack or turn it into an entire meal. Take a fun approach to food with toppings such as Nutella or make it healthy with nut butter and slices of fruit.
- Delicious: Almost everybody likes bread, the same is true for toast. It’s certainly a popular food.
