Air Fryer Croutons

These homemade croutons are not just easy to whip up, they’re also a game changer for any salad, soup, or snacking session. Let’s get this crouton party started!

Ingredients:

• 4 slices of your favorite bread (stale works like a charm!)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or whatever herbs tickle your fancy)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Begin by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). You want it hotter than a summer day!
2. Grab those slices of bread and cut them into cubes. The size doesn’t have to be perfect, but smaller cubes will crisp up more evenly! Think “bite-sized,” not “comforting doorstops.”
3. In a mixing bowl, toss the bread cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Make sure every little cube is coated in that glorious mix. No one likes a bland crouton!
4. Now, your air fryer is looking all hot and bothered, so toss in those seasoned bread cubes. Spread them out in a single layer—no crouton overcrowding here!
5. Cook them up for about 5 to 7 minutes. Give them a little shake halfway through to make sure they’re not getting too comfortable on one side. You want them golden brown, not burnt to a crisp!
6. Once they’re done, let them cool for a few moments—if you can resist! Then, toss them on your favorite salad or eat them straight out of the bowl like the crouton-loving champion you are.

And there you have it—the world’s simplest (and most delicious) Air Fryer Croutons! They’re crunchy, flavorful, and ready to elevate your meals. Now go forth and sprinkle them generously… or just munch away on them by themselves. You’ve earned it!
