These homemade air fryer croutons are incredibly easy to make and taste significantly better than anything you can buy at the store. Store-bought croutons often become stale quickly, even in resealable bags. While I used to make them in the oven, they could easily burn if I wasn't paying close attention. I needed a simple, low-effort solution, so I developed this air fryer recipe, and it works perfectly every time!

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

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a large mixing bowl, place the bread cubes. In a separate bowl, whisk together the parsley, garlic powder, and seasoned salt with the melted butter. Pour this mixture over the bread cubes. Use a rubber spatula to toss the bread until it's evenly coated with the butter mixture. Allow it to sit for 2 minutes to allow the butter to fully absorb into the bread.
Transfer the bread cubes to the air fryer basket, spreading them in a single layer. Cook for 4 minutes. Toss the croutons with a spatula and continue cooking for another 2 minutes. Once done, transfer the croutons to a plate lined with paper towels to cool and until you are ready to serve.
