Garlic bread, who doesn't love it? While we all love munching on frozen garlic bread at times. Making it from scratch is not so difficult. Airfryer garlic bread gives you the same experience as a restaurant one.
I love making frozen garlic bread in air fryer too but frozen ones comes with its own serving of fat. Definitely, it is a life saver, when you are too tired to cook. I love the ones Costco sells. However, I love the idea of grating cheese myself too. It is so satisfying. I do end up eating a handful, like my kid.
This dish brings back memories from Mumbai where we had countless trips to Pizza hut, with my bestie, post shopping. Those were the days when we were young and free! Even with countless responsibilities now, we can still enjoy this little treat and still relive the memories.
