You can toast pretty much any type of bread using your favorite air fryer. You can even make Texas Toast in the air fryer with my easy recipe.

How to Toast It

  1. Figure out how many slices of bread you can fit comfortably in your air fryer basket. I can usually fit four regular-sized pieces of sandwich bread in my Cosori air fryer.
  2. Place the bread in the air fryer basket. No need to add any oil when air frying toast.
  3. Air fry toast at 400°F/200°C for 4-5 minutes, flipping it over halfway through for even browning.
  4. Serve the toast immediately with your favorite toppings. I suggest butter for sure!

Tips and Tricks

  • Don’t overlap the slices. Anywhere where the bread is covered by another piece of bread won’t get toasty. Be sure to leave room around each piece of bread
  • Don’t use a liner. Because bread is lightweight, I don’t recommend that you use parchment paper or paper liners when making this recipe. There is a possibility that the paper could fly up and touch the heating element, which is a fire hazard.

Best Ways to Serve Toast

  • Butter
  • Jam, jelly, or fruit spread
  • Cream Cheese
  • Sliced or mashed avocado with everything bagel seasoning
  • Cinnamon sugar

FAQs

Is an air fryer the same as a toaster oven?

While the air fryer can do anything a toaster oven can do (and more!), they function very differently.A toaster oven is basically a small oven that typically has an exposed heat source at the top and bottom of the unit.In contrast, an air fryer is a self-contained miniature convection oven.

Equipment

  • Air fryer

Ingredients

  • ▢ 2-4 slices bread of your choice

Instructions

  • Gather your bread and determine how many slices you can fit into the air fryer at one time.
  • Place the bread in your air fryer basket. Work in batches if need be.
  • Air fry at 400F/200°C for 4-5 minutes, flipping the bread halfway through. Use more or less time depending on how golden you like your toast.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

 
  • If you like your toast to be golden, I recommend the full 5 minutes. If you like your bread just barely toasted, start checking at 3 minutes..
  • Lighter bread may lift and move around in the air fryer. To avoid this, place a metal trivet over the toast, or weigh it down using a butter knife or similar item.
  • Pro Tip: Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Sometimes air frying is a trial and error process.

  1. 5 stars I would not have thought to use my air fryer for toast! I do quite a bit of traveling for work and stay in lots of AirBnb’s, so my air fryer is often my trusty companion. I love that my air fryer does this in less than 5 minutes (I like mine slightly under done to over!) so this is perfect for me. Perfectly crispy with a bit of butter…heavenly! Thank you!
