How to make toast in the air fryer

Did you know that you can toast bread in the air fryer? It’s my go-to way of toasting bread as it yields a quicker, crispier toast than the traditional toaster.

To toast bread in the air fryer, preheat the air fryer to 400°F/200°C on the air fryer setting. Air fry the toast for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.

You can toast it for more or less time, depending on your preferences.
