Preheat air fryer to 350 °F (180 °C).
Slice the baguette into ½–2‑inch thick pieces, depending on preference and basket size.
In a bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, and Parmesan (if using).
Generously spread garlic‑butter mixture on each bread slice.
Arrange slices in a single layer in air fryer basket—cook in batches if needed.
Air fry for 4–7 minutes until golden and crisp. If adding cheese, sprinkle during last 1–2 minutes.
Remove and serve immediately while warm.

Cook in a single layer—don’t overcrowd, or bread may get soggy.
To reheat, air fry leftovers at 300 °F for 2–3 minutes.
Freeze garlic bread slices on a baking sheet, then store in freezer bag for up to 2 months; air-fry frozen slices at 350 °F for 5–7 minutes.
Use fresh garlic for best flavor; garlic powder works in a pinch.
