Equipment

  • air fryer

Ingredients

  • 5 slices white bread
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • teaspoons garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  • Cut the slices of bread into 1-inch cubes.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375° while you are seasoning the bread cubes.
  • Place the cut pieces of bread into a mixing bowl. Sprinkle in the olive oil, tossing to coat well. Add the seasonings and continue to coat.
  • Place the cubed bread into the air fryer basket. If it is too overcrowded then it's best to work in batches. They won't be in a single layer BUT should not be so overcrowded that they won't cook evenly. It depends on the capacity of your air fryer basket.
  • Cook for 375° for about 10 minutes. Shake when halfway through cooking time. The croutons should be crispy and golden.
  • Let cool and store in an airtight container or serve immediately.
