Air Fryer Croutons

These Air Fryer Croutons are made by tossing bread cubes with garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and olive oil, then crisping them to a golden finish in an air fryer. They offer a crunchy texture with flavorful seasoning, perfect for adding a crunchy element to salads or soups. Preparing them in the air fryer allows an even, quick crisp without deep frying.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups bread cubed, 150g
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon italian herbs
  • ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or use spray oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the air fryer to 340 degrees F / 170 degrees C.
  2. Toss the bread cubes with the garlic powder, salt and herbs, then drizzle with the oil and gently toss again.
  3. Place into the basket of the air fryer in a single layer (you may need to cook them in batches) and cook for 5 minutes (or until golden), shaking halfway through. Check and cook a little longer if you want them darker.

Notes

  • Mix seasonings with olive oil first to coat bread cubes uniformly.
  • Place croutons in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to promote even crisping.
  • Use uniform size bread cubes for consistent cooking results.
  • Adjust cook time based on bread type and desired crispness; check halfway through.
  • Cook in small batches if your air fryer basket is limited in size.
