Ingredients

• 1–2 frozen Udi’s Gluten Free French Baguettes

• Optional: olive oil or melted butter

• Optional seasonings: garlic powder, Italian seasoning, sea salt

• Optional toppings: shredded Parmesan, chopped parsley

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F for 3–5 minutes.

Prepare the Baguettes

• Remove baguettes from packaging.

• If desired, brush lightly with olive oil or melted butter.

• Optionally sprinkle garlic powder or herbs on top.

• Cut the baguette in half if it doesn’t fit in your air fryer basket.

Air Fry

• Place the baguettes in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

• Air fry at 350°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping once halfway through.

• Check for doneness—crust should be golden brown and firm to the touch.

Check for Doneness

• Interior should be soft and warm.

• Crust should have a slight crunch, similar to fresh-baked bread.

• Let cool for 1–2 minutes before slicing or serving.

Pro Tips

• For garlic bread, slice the baguette lengthwise and spread with garlic butter before air frying.

• Add Parmesan and herbs in the final 2 minutes for a flavorful finish.

• For sandwich use, let cool slightly before slicing to avoid crushing the loaf.

Serving Ideas

• As Garlic Bread: Serve with marinara, pasta, or soups

• For Sandwiches: Use as the base for paninis, meatball subs, or caprese sandwiches

• On the Side: Pairs well with chili, beef stew, or salad bowls

Storage & Reheating

Storage

• Store leftover baguette slices in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Reheating

• Air Fryer: 350°F for 3–4 minutes to restore crispiness

• Oven: 375°F for 5–6 minutes

• Microwave: 15–20 seconds (will be soft, not crisp)
