In a small bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika. The butter should be smooth and easily spreadable.
Slice your chosen bread to your desired thickness. I usually go for about 1-inch thick slices. If using a baguette, you can cut it diagonally to get larger slices.
Generously spread the garlic butter mixture on each slice of bread. Make sure to cover the entire surface for maximum flavor.
Place the buttered slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you might need to do this in batches.
Set your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) and cook garlic bread slices for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
