HOMEMADE CROUTONS IN THE AIR FRYER



Homemade Croutons in the Air Fryer image

Although store-bought croutons come in a resealable bag, they still get stale quick. Homemade are simple to make and taste much better. I started making them in the oven but if you turn your back for a minute they can go from soft to burnt. I needed a low-maintenance method so I came up with this air fryer recipe that works perfectly every single time.

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 slices white bread, cubed
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon seasoned salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place bread cubes in a large mixing bowl. Whisk parsley, garlic powder, and seasoned salt into the melted butter and pour over bread cubes. Toss bread cubes with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Let sit for 2 minutes for butter to absorb.

Homemade croutons are incredibly simple and quick to make, thanks to the air fryer! We added a touch of dried oregano and granulated garlic for a boost of flavor to complement a variety of salads, soups and other dishes. Feel free to remove the oil and seasonings altogether and follow the same method to dry out bread for stuffing, dressing, bread pudding and more--in less than half the time it would take with an oven.
