Ingredients for Air Fryer Loaded Garlic Bread

Organic Sourdough Bread You can make your own sourdough, or you can buy it. Either way, is fine! I have been buying the Organic Artisan Oroweat Sourdough at Vons, and it's truly amazing for what it is. If you have a good organic bakery by you that makes bread, obviously, I would recommend getting bread from them. But, if not, this one is awesome and easy.

Organic Salted Butter You have to have butter for garlic bread, it's just a must. I use salted butter, as always, as I believe it is better! My favorite is Organic Valley, but you can buy whatever organic salted butter you like, even Costco brand is good!

Fresh Organic Garlic Cloves Make sure you have the good stuff here. Buy fresh organic garlic cloves. It only takes a couple, but this is where the flavor comes from.

Organic Mozzarella Cheese You can buy the block or the shredded, either one is fine. I always prefer to buy the block and grate it myself, as the shredded cheeses have stabilizers in them (yes, even the organic ones) and sometimes they upset my stomach. So, if you've noticed that, try buying block instead and see if it makes a difference, as I know it does for me. My favorite is Organic Valley Mozzarella.

Organic Summer Sausage This sliced organic summer sausage is my new found love. It is so good! You can find my favorite Organic Prairie Summer Sausage here.

Organic Tomatoes I used Roma tomatoes here, as it is what I had in my fridge leftover from another shoot. But, you can use any kind you like!

Organic Red Onion I love red onion, it is one of my favorite veggies and I eat it often. It provides such a unique and amazing flavor to many things. You could also use a white or yellow onion in its place.

Organic Fresh Basil This just gives it a little something extra. I love adding fresh herbs, especially basil! You could also use other herbs like fresh parsley or rosemary and those would be delicious too.

You can also switch it up for different toppings to load up your garlic bread with whatever you love. This is a super easy and adaptable recipe that you can make your own!

Other toppings that would be good too:
Organic bell peppers
Organic mushrooms
Organic black olives
Organic spinach
Organic parsley
Organic rosemary
Organic parmesan cheese

Tips for Air Fryer Loaded Garlic Bread

• I use my air fryer for this recipe, as it is similar to a toaster oven so I can set the breads right inside. You can also use a toaster oven or your oven if you re making a lot for a party! If you are using your oven, just use a cookie sheet (no foil) and you'll be all set.

• If your bread is very large, you may need more butter and garlic if it isn't covering all of it. This was the amount I used for my bread that I listed above. But, if you have fresh homemade bread or bakery bread, it may be larger and you may have to double the recipe to fill up the bread!

• Make sure to check your bread while its cooking as all air fryers and ovens are a little different. This bakes up quick! So, it can burn easily if not being watched.

• Adding some fresh parmesan on top would also be amazing! Or you can even dip it in marinara sauce too!

Why go organic?

You may be wondering why I push organic ingredients for everything, even savory and healthy dishes. Organic ingredients go beyond just health and wellness, and contribute so much to the taste and flavor of a recipe. So, if you think that you're making something healthy and buying fruits, veggies, or meats so maybe you don't need to spend the extra to go organic here – let me sway your thinking.

Organic ingredients are made in a more pure way, therefore using no additives, no GMOs, and minimal ingredients. This really allows the true ingredients to shine – and because of that their flavor shines through. Therefore, organic ingredients are more flavorful than their non organic counterparts. So, just because it's already a healthy recipe, or you're already buying good for you ingredients – it doesn't mean you can skip organic! Trust me here, and make the switch. Your body and your taste buds will thank you!

So, I highly recommend that you buy the best organic ingredients for this recipe! You can also shop my Amazon Storefront for all my favorite organic ingredients here. Tip – hover over each ingredient to see the name. And if you want to learn more about organic foods and the difference, read my post here on Food Labels and What They Mean.
