Air Frying Toast Tips
Times vary for gluten-free bread due to the difference in ingredients. Test anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes, starting at 3 and increasing the time if the bread isn't browned to your liking.
Recipe time and temperature is based on a cold air fryer. If cooking multiple batches, check on them early, as they will cook more quickly than the first batch.
We are using a basket style air fryer. If you have an oven style air fryer, place the bread on the lower rack and flip halfway through the cook time.
6 minutes in the air fryer and flipping halfway through air frying will toast the bread to a nice golden brown on both sides. If you prefer your toast to be extra dark and crispy you’ll want to air fry a minute or so longer.
If you want your toast to be less golden brown, check it around 5 minutes.
Cook time may vary depending on your specific air fryer. As always, use the cook time and temperature as a guide until you are more comfortable with your specific brand of air fryer.
If you have an air fryer with multiple compartments, you can cook more of our air fryer breakfast recipes in the other compartment to save yourself time!
