Toast in an Air Fryer

Ever wondered if you could make toast in an air fryer? It turns out, air frying your bread is not only possible but surprisingly simple. This guide will explain why using an air fryer for your toast might be a great idea and give you the steps to achieve perfect results.

Who Should Toast Bread in an Air Fryer?

Initially, using an air fryer for toast might not seem the quickest option since it takes a bit longer than a traditional toaster. However, there are a couple of scenarios where an air fryer really shines:

• No Toaster, No Problem: Don’t rush out to buy a toaster if you don’t have one. An air fryer can achieve beautifully toasted bread without the extra appliance.
• Batch Toasting: If you’re making toast for a crowd, an air fryer is ideal. My air fryer can hold four slices of bread—twice what a standard toaster can handle. If the slices overlap slightly, just remember to flip them halfway through cooking.

Cooking Time and Temperature

The key to air frying toast is getting the time and temperature right:

• Temperature: Set your air fryer to 320 degrees Fahrenheit (160 C).
• Time: Toast for about 9 minutes.

Pro Tips for Perfect Toast

• Always preheat your air fryer before adding the bread.
• Adjust the time slightly depending on the type of bread; 9 minutes usually works well for standard toast bread.
• If your bread slices aren’t overlapping, you don’t need to flip them.
• Prefer your toast on the lighter side? Take it out a minute early. Like it crunchier? Leave it in an extra minute or two.
