Ingredients
Flatbread
- 2 pieces of flatbread (6-inch size each)
Garlic Butter
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
Toppings
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with the minced garlic and chopped fresh parsley. Mix thoroughly to create a fragrant garlic butter spread.
- Spread on Flatbread: Place the flatbread pieces on a clean surface and evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the top surface of each flatbread, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
- Air Fry the Flatbread: Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (188°C). Place the buttered flatbreads in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 5-6 minutes or until the edges are crispy and golden brown, checking halfway through to avoid burning.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Remove the flatbreads carefully from the air fryer and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the hot flatbreads so it melts slightly with the residual heat.
- Serve: Allow the flatbreads to cool for a minute, then cut into slices if desired and serve warm as a snack or side accompaniment.
Notes
- Use day-old or store-bought flatbreads for best crispiness.
- Adjust the amount of garlic according to your taste preference.
- For a vegan version, substitute butter with plant-based margarine and omit Parmesan or use vegan cheese alternatives.
- Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model; monitor closely to avoid overcooking.
