Everyone loves Cheesy Garlic Bread Sticks. Crispy and light, these garlic bread sticks come together with just a few simple ingredients.
A perfect appetizer or dinner accompaniment every time. Made with store bought frozen puff pastry, garlic, grated parmesan cheese, melted butter and your favorite herbs.
Can You Put Garlic Bread Sticks in the Air Fryer?
Yes, if your air fryer is large enough, you can lay them in the air fryer to cook. It will get a bit messy because you need to brush the puff pastry with butter, cheese and herbs. Half way through you will also need to flip them over.
If you have a small air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches, which really doesn't make an air fryer ideal for making puff pastry garlic bread sticks. An oven or toaster oven and baking tray works much better.

Have the oven preheated and use a pizza/cookie cutter to cut the puff pastry in strips while the dough is partially frozen. Then twist and put in the oven quickly.
Hint: Work quickly.

Equipment
A non stick baking sheet is recommended. If you don't have a non stick baking sheet then make sure that you have some parchment paper to make baking and clean up easy.
Also to cut the strips of puff pastry a pizza cutter will come in handy.

Storage
Once you've cooked these up, it's best to serve them and consume immediately.
I don't recommend storing these because the puff pastry will just get soggy. Freezing is also not recommended.
