Here is the secret tool for crispy, golden toast without a toaster. Ready?
The air fryer is a perfect tool for toast. The air fryer we use, Cuisinart Digital AirFryer Toaster Oven CTOA-130, allows you to select a toast option. Not only are you able to select toast but you can select how many pieces and the shade color. Precision each time. Every person in our house gets their toast their way. In the age of minimalism less is more. The air fryer gives me more by giving me less “stuff” in the kitchen. I no longer need a separate toaster or toaster oven. Now that is a win.

What bread should I use?
In our household we use Dave’s White Bread Done Right. I love that this bread has protein and fiber. If my children just want toast for breakfast then I feel good about that choice. I get them out of the door quickly with a meal to satiate their tummies. Any bread will work. Popular bread choices include white, sough dough and wheat. Gluten free breads work great too.
What are the best toppings?
Toppings allow you to switch it up and be creative. Choices can include:
- Butter
- Avocado
- Jam/jellies
- Eggs
- Cream cheese
- Peanut butter
- Nutella
What else can I do with toast?
You can have toast with one of the toppings mentioned above. You can also make sandwiches like BLT, ham and cheese and even a tuna melt.
