Air-Fried Croutons
Nothing shakes up a boring old soup or salad quite like homemade croutons, and these flavorful AF air-fried croutons do NOT disappoint! They take about 5 minutes to throw together and 15 to cook, giving you plenty of time to assemble the rest of your meal and maybe do a quick dance around the kitchen with a glass of wine. Welcome to crouton heaven, my friends!
Ingredients
- 6 slices whole wheat bread see notes for gluten free, cubed
- 2 Tbsp olive oil see notes for oil free**
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Add your cubed bread to a large bowl or container (I like to use something with a lid). Carefully drizzle on the olive oil and add the spices. Toss with your hands, or if you're using a container with a lid, put it on and shake, shake shake until all the bread cubes are evenly coated.
- Add the bread cubes to your air fryer basket and fry at 300F for 10-15 minutes, stopping to shake the basket every 5 minutes. They're ready when they're crisp and slightly golden.
- Serve on top of salads or soups, and enjoy! Once they cool, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in your pantry for up to a week.
Notes
*To make these croutons gluten-free, simply use gluten-free bread!
**To make these croutons oil-free, omit the oil and lightly spray them with water before tossing in seasoning, so the seasoning will stick to the bread.
