Why you'll love air fryer toast!
Quick & Easy - Air Fryer toast is a super quick breakfast or snack option! Using the air fryer makes it super easy to make, and you're guaranteed golden toast every time.
Save Time - You can fit up to four slices of bread into the air fryer vs. only two in a toaster. This is why it's great for busy mornings!
Versatile - I also love that there are a variety of topping options which makes it great for kids! Pizza Toast and Blueberry Lemon Toast are two of my personal favorites.
Allergy Safe - Using an air fryer vs. a toaster can eliminate the fear around cross contamination for those that have serious gluten allergies. You can dedicate the air fryer to gluten-free cooking!
🍴Ingredient Notes
To make this super easy air fryer toast recipe you'll need freshly sliced bread and an air fryer! (That's it!)
For this recipe I used my Cassava Flour Bread recipe, but you could also try my Paleo Garlic Herb Bread or Cinnamon Raisin Bread!
For store bought brands, I suggest Soozy's and Base Culture. They are both made with high quality ingredients!
Air Fryer Options
I actually have two styles of air fryers and recommend both depending on what fits best with your lifestyle.
The first type of air fryer I have is what is shown in this post - a basket style air fryer. This air fryer is portable and can be stored in a pantry or cabinet.
The second style air fryer I have is my Ninja Foodi Air Fryer Oven. This appliance is bigger and sits on my kitchen counter.
It looks more like a mini oven than an air fryer! It can air fry, toast, bake, or dehydrate and flips up to save on counter space when it's not in use. (I use it as an air fryer and toaster the most.)
🍴Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Preparing Bread
Start by adding three slices of bread into the air fryer basket or air fryer oven. (Leave space between each slice.)
Step 2: Air Frying Toast
Turn the temperature to 400 degrees and cook for about 3-4 minutes. (Or until golden brown.)
Step 3: Serving
Serve hot and top with your favorite toast toppings!
Topping Ideas
You can enjoy your toasted bread with a variety of toppings! Peanut butter, cashew butter, almond butter, or apple butter are great options. You can also top toast with fresh fruit or a healthy homemade chocolate spread.
I personally love adding homemade "jam." To make, I microwave frozen berries until hot. Mash hot berries and spread over toast and enjoy!
For a savory option, try avocado toast or toast with eggs! (Fried eggs or scrambled eggs work great.) You can also use a dairy free cream cheese or ghee!
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! It's quick and yields great results every time.
I had my air fryer set to 400 degrees.
In my opinion, yes! They are so versatile. You can make pretty much anything in an air fryer that you would a toaster or toaster oven.
Expert Tips
- I would suggest not adding toppings on the toast until it comes out of the air fryer. (Unless you're making pizza toast!)
- If you're using homemade bread, I believe the thickness of your bread matters. Do not slice too thin or it will get burnt or too crispy! Plus, thicker slices hold more toppings.
How to store leftovers
I would recommend only air frying the amount of toast you plan to eat at that time because it's best served hot!
If you have leftover toast, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
To reheat, air fryer for 1-2 minutes until warm.
