My easy garlic butter recipe:
In a bowl combine room temperature butter (1 stick) and 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tsp of garlic & onion powder salt + pepper, and 1/2 tbsp of Italian seasoning along with 1 tbsp of freshly chopped parsley. Combine everything together and store the remaining garlic butter in an air tight container in the fridge. Will last up to 6 months.
Cut the loaf of bread in half lengthwise to create a top and bottom half. Spread the garlic butter and place in the air fryer at 380F for 4 mins, or until nice and golden brown.
Next in a bowl, combine cubed paneer with oil and all the spices listed in ingredients. Mix until well combined and all the paneer is coated in those spices.
In a hot pan, drizzle some oil and cook the paneer until it’s nice a golden brown. Take it off the heat and set aside.
Add a good layer of marinara sauce to the bread, along with your toppings of choice, cooked paneer tikka and cheese!
