Cooking Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Toast
Making toast in your air fryer is super easy! Keep an eye on your toast the first few times you make it, since air fryers can heat differently. The middle rack position usually gives the most even browning. If you like your toast extra crispy, add an extra minute, but watch it closely to avoid burning.

Storage Tips
Toast is best eaten right away while it’s hot and crispy. If you need to save it for later, let it cool completely, then store in a paper bag at room temperature. When you’re ready to eat it, pop it back in the air fryer for 30 seconds to crisp it up again.
