Air Fryer Bruschetta is a great classic Italian appetizer or dish to use up those wonderful tomatoes that are in Season right now, and that is exactly what I've been doing. I've had this for lunch a couple of times this week and it never gets old.
The air fryer is one of my favorite kitchen appliances. Check out some of these recipes! Air Fryer Omelette, Air Fryer Poutine, or Air Fryer Turkey Breast!

Ingredients Needed
- Baguette-Cut in half lengthwise and toasted
- Garlic - Chopped fresh garlic can take some time to chop so I often always use the freshly minced garlic that comes already made in a jar.
- Fresh basil leaves, chiffonade
- Extra-virgin olive oil - Always use a good Olive OIl, I like Simply Nature Olive Oil From Aldi
- Balsamic glaze or vinegar
- Roma tomatoes or fresh cherry tomatoes
- See recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.
How to Make Air Fryer Bruschetta Recipe
- Prep the tomatoes: In a medium mixing bowl, add the tomatoes, garlic cloves, basil, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Mix thoroughly and let sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to let the flavors marinate.
- Slice the bread into individual pieces and spoon the mixture on top.
- Store any leftover tomato mixture in the fridge in an airtight container.
Air Fryer Settings
Bread can be toasted in the air fryer. Hurray! Brush the bread olive oil and place it in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd. Set the timer for 4 to 5 minutes and the temperature to 400 degrees.
Variations to Try Out
Here are some different variations you can use next time if you want to change it up a bit.
Laughing cow cheese is really good spread on top of the toast with some fresh Bruschetta on top.
Use avocado as a spread or add in some cucumbers and mozzarella.
I got some fresh tomatoes at the farmer's market because I can't grow plants at all. When I try, they all end up dying and I'm just not too excited to water them. Same goes for weeds in my backyards. Is anyone else terrible at growing plants?
Drizzle the bread with balsamic vinegar or glaze
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese or top it with some fresh mozzarella cheese
Tips for Air Fryers
The air fryer is so great for cooking simple basic food like air fryer steak, air fryer hard-boiled eggs, and air fryer bacon. Cook up some air fryer chicken breasts for the week and use it chicken quesadillas.
Some air fryers require preheating and some do not. Be sure to check your air fryer manual.
Overcrowding: Do not overcrowd the basket. Place items in a single layer in the air fryer basket or some food will not cook properly or all the way through.
Recipe FAQs
If you want to make this something really special the choice of bread you use can play a major part in this. Pick a good french baguette or ciabatta bread. Grill the bread or toast it. You can rub some garlic on that bread once it has been toasted and then top it with the tomatoes.
The size of the tomato can be up to you. If you pick cherry tomatoes they will end up falling off the bread if you don't have some kind of glue on tops of it like Laughing Cow cheese or avocado, then use some larger heirloom tomatoes. I've ruined many good shirts with tomato stains.
Cosori 4 Qt Air Fryer- This air fryer doesn't require any preheating and has several different functions for cooking chicken, meat, frozen foods, etc. There are 5 different functions.
