Ingredients
- 4 slices bread
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
Instructions
- 1. Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees for 5 minutes. 2. Slice bread into even, medium-sized cubes. 3. In a large bowl, toss bread cubes in olive oil and spices until well coated. 4. Transfer cubes to air fryer, and cook at 400 degrees for 3-6 minutes. Check cubes at 3 minutes, and continue cooking until bread is crips and golden brown. Allow to cool, and use in salads! To store:Make sure to allow the croutons to fully cool before packing them up. Any heat will create steam, which is croutons arch nemesis. Once the croutons are fully cooled to room temperature, you can store them in in an airtight container or in Ziplock baggies for up to a week in the pantry.To freeze, allow them to cool completely, and store in airtight freezer bags. They keep for up to 2 months in the freezer, but it's best not to go past that amount of time, as they will degrade in texture and flavor.
