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.
