Works With All Types of Frozen Baguettes

Classic, par-baked, garlic, or cheese-stuffed Costco baguettes all turn out beautifully.

Ingredients

• 1 or more frozen Costco baguettes (plain or flavored)

• Optional:

  • Olive oil or butter for brushing

  • Garlic, herbs, or shredded cheese for added flavor

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 350°F (177°C) and preheat for 3–4 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Baguette

Remove all packaging and place the frozen baguette directly into the air fryer basket or tray. If the baguette is too long, cut it in half or into smaller pieces to fit.

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

• Cook at 350°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping or rotating halfway through

• For thinner baguettes or rolls, check at 8–9 minutes

• Bread is ready when the crust is golden and the center is hot and soft

Step 4: Cool Slightly & Serve

Let rest for 2–3 minutes, then slice and enjoy with your favorite sides or spreads.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Don’t Overcrowd the Basket

Give space around the baguette to allow for even crisping.

Add Toppings Midway (Optional)

For garlic bread, brush with butter and garlic halfway through for melty, toasty flavor.

Check Doneness by Tapping

A crisp crust and a hollow sound when tapped usually means it’s done.

Slice Before or After Air Frying Based on Preference

Want toasted slices? Slice before air frying. Want a crusty loaf? Cook whole and slice after.
