How to Make Croutons in the Air Fryer
Croutons in the air fryer is so easy! First, cut the slices of bread into cubes. Then place the cubes in the air fryer. Lightly spray the bread with oil and sprinkle on your seasonings. I love to use this Mistifi oil sprayer and fill it with avocado oil for this recipe.
How Long to Cook Croutons in the Air Fryer?
Once the oil and seasonings are evenly distributed, cook the bread for 5 minutes at 370 ̊F/188 ̊C. If you are worried about the bread flying up into the heating rack, you can place a wire rack like this one on top of the croutons.
Depending on how crispy and evenly cooked you want your croutons, continue to cook for an extra couple of minutes.

Yummy fresh croutons, can’t wait to try these in a salad or soup. Thanks for the recipe 😘
Enjoy, Nancy! Thanks for the 5 stars!
Didn’t have garlic powder, so used salt, pepper, dried parsley and dried mixed herbs. Made for my daughter to have with her stew, she absolutely loved it. And so did I!!
