Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Cubed Bread Sourdough, Sandwich, French, or Any Favorite Bread
  • Spritz of Avocado Oil or Olive Oil
  • Dash Garlic Salt
  • Dash Italian Seasoning
  • Dash Nutritional Yeast Optional for Cheesy Flavor

Instructions

  • Cut the bread into small cubes. You can use fresh bread, but day-old bread that’s even better for that perfect crunch.
  • Add the bread cubes to the air fryer tray or basket in a single layer.
  • Spritz with avocado oil (or olive oil) and sprinkle with Garlic Salt, Italian Seasoning, and Nutritional Yeast.
  • Toss the croutons gently to coat evenly.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F if needed.
  • Cook the croutons at 400°F for 4–6 minutes, shaking halfway through. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning!
  • Remove and let the croutons cool completely before serving.
