Ingredients
Bread: You can use any bread you like. Whole wheat bread, white bread, gluten free bread, Keto friendly breads or homemade breads to make toast. That’s simply how versatile it is.
Butter: Butter helps to crisp up the edges and exterior of the bread slices. Giving a delightful crunch and a soft center. An extra dollop of butter does more yumminess to toast bread after toasting. That’s a double slather yum!

How to make air fryer toast
Now to the fun part! Making toast in air fryer! Let’s get to it.

Set temperature to 400°F / 205°C air fry for 4 mins, flip over and air fryer for another 3 minutes or until your desired level of toasted.

What to serve with toast
Toast bread can be Eaten on its own with butter, jam/ jelly or fruit compote. You can also serve it with a side of scrambled eggs, bacon or sausages.
Tips for success
- My Cosori and Gourmia air fryer baskets can take up to 4 slices of bread depending of the dimensions of the slices. They sometimes overlap but that’s ok because the bread still comes our well toasted.
- It’s easier to butter the other side of the bread while the slices are in the air fryer basket buttered side facing down.
FAQs
Can you toast things in an air fryer?
You can toast bread in the air fryer. Any food that can be Toasted in the Toaster can be toasted in the air fryer.
Can an air fryer replace a toaster?
If you already have an air fryer and don’t have a toaster, an air fryer can comfortably replace a toaster. If you have a toaster and considering buying an air fryer, I’d suggest you give away the toaster cos the air fryer is more versatile and you can get more use out of your air fryer than the toaster.

Air fryer Toast
Equipment
- Cosori Air Fryer 5.8qt
Ingredients
- 4 slices bread
- 2 Tablespoons butter (½ tablespoons per slice)
Instructions
- Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place bread in the air fryer basket, buttered side down. Spread the rest of the butter on the unbuttered surface.
- Set temperature to 400°F / 205°C and air fry for 4 mins. Flip bread slices to over and air fryer for another 2-3 minutes or until your desired level of toasted.
- Serve immediately with more butter or jelly. You can also serve with a side of eggs, bacon or sausages.
Notes
- My Cosori air fryer basket can take up to 4 slices of bread. See images in blog post for how I achieved that. If you can’t fit all four, it’s ok to toast 2 at a time.
- I didn’t preheat my air fryer. Bear in mind that subsequent batches will likely toast faster because the air fryer was preheated while the first batch was toasting.

Do you use the toast setting on the air fryer?
Hi Carlena,
I used the air fry setting because the air fryer I used for this has only the air fry setting. If your air fryer has a toast setting, I would use that setting instead. Hope that helps.
