Ingredients

  • Bread: Leftover bread, cut into small cubes
  • Oil: Olive oil (or cooking spray for an even coating)
  • Seasoning: Herb blend of your preference (e.g., Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or smoked paprika)
  • Cheese: Shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Coat the Bread: Place the bread cubes in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil (or use cooking spray). Toss the bread until every piece is evenly coated.
  2. Season: Sprinkle your chosen herb blend and the Parmesan cheese over the bread; toss again to distribute the flavors.
  3. Air Fry: Arrange the bread in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F for about 4 minutes or until they reach your desired level of crispness.
  4. Cool: Let the croutons cool completely before serving or storing to ensure they stay crunchy.

Notes

Tammy’s Tips for Success

  • Extra Crunch: Check the croutons at the 4-minute mark. If you want them even crispier, cook for one additional minute.
  • Variety: Don't be afraid to experiment! Adding a dash of garlic powder or smoked paprika can completely change the flavor profile.
  • Storage: Once cooled, store your croutons in an airtight container. They will stay fresh and crunchy for up to two weeks!
