Who doesn’t love toast?

Toast is up there as one of those AMAZING comfort food breakfasts that we have all been addicted to for many years.

Now Sofia herself loves air fryer toast and loves watching the air fryer as it makes awesome toast in just a few short minutes.

Whenever I talk about the air fryer and its capabilities a big part of that is the fact that it can replace several kitchen gadgets. One of those gadgets that I often mention is the toaster.

Can An Air Fryer Replace A Toaster?

Yes, it sure can and we have NOT owned a traditional toaster for many years. This is because the air fryer is fantastic for replacing the toaster.

Whilst many feel that the air fryer takes a LOT of room up in their kitchen, it replaces a lot of other kitchen items that you now no longer need.

For example, we don’t have a toaster, a grill, a deep fat fryer etc.

Can I Make Toast In My Power Air Fryer Oven?

Yes, you can, and you will find that toast in an air fryer oven, such as the Power Air Fryer, produces better toast than an air fryer basket. You also can make a lot more toast compared to in an air fryer basket or in a toaster.

Ninja Air Fryer Toast

I have cooked a LOT of toast in the air fryer and done so in several different air fryers.

I have also found myself rating the air fryer toast and seeing which air fryer produced the best toast.

My expert opinion is that the bread that is closest to the air fryer heat element produces the best toast.

As this is closest to the way a set up is with a toaster.

Therefore, I would rank Ninja air fryer toast as the BEST and 2^nd to be toast using the instant pot air fryer lid, followed by the Power air fryer oven and then the classic air fryer baskets.

I find that air fryer ovens (such as Power or Tower) get a lot of bad press compared to the air fryer baskets, but toast is certainly something that they do BETTER.

Air Fried Toast Ingredients

Bread – You can use any type of bread in the air fryer. Its all about personal choice. When I make air fried toast, I prefer thick slices of Warburtons.

Butter – I don’t know about you, but I love toast with loads of butter in the air fryer. You can of course, go with margarine, or do it like the Spanish with plenty of extra virgin olive oil.

Extras – Then of course, don’t forget about your favourite extras. Such as Philadelphia cream cheese, chicken liver pate, or if my kids are about, there will be plenty of strawberry jam or lemon curd.

Interesting Air Fryer Trick – 2 minutes before the end of cook time, add the butter to the plain toast whilst it is in the air fryer. The air fryer will then melt the butter for you, and you have perfect buttery toast.
