Homemade Croutons in the Air Fryer

Ingredients

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

Method

  1. Set your air fryer to preheat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Add the cubed bread to a large bowl. Combine the melted butter with parsley flakes, garlic powder, and seasoned salt, then pour this over the bread. Use a rubber spatula to toss the cubes until they are fully coated. Allow them to rest for 2 minutes so the butter soaks in.
  3. Transfer the coated bread to the air fryer basket. Cook for 4 minutes, then toss the croutons with a spatula. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes. Once done, move the croutons to a plate lined with paper towels before serving.
