Easy Air Fryer Garlic & Herb Croutons

Easy Air Fryer Garlic & Herb Croutons

Crunchy, munchy, golden homemade croutons with plenty of garlic and Italian herb flavor—ready in minutes!

Ingredients

• 4 cups store-bought bread, cut into ¾-inch cubes

• 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

• ½ tsp. Richard’s Famous Original Garlic Salt, to taste

• 1 tsp. Richard’s Famous Nonnie’s Kitchen Italian Seasoning

Directions

1. Cut the bread.
   Cut bread into roughly ¾-inch cubes and place in a large bowl.

2. Season.
   Drizzle with olive oil and toss well to lightly coat the bread. Sprinkle with Richard’s Famous Original Garlic Salt and Nonnie’s Kitchen Italian Seasoning, to taste. Toss again until evenly seasoned.

3. Air fry.
   Place the bread cubes in the air fryer basket in an even layer. Air fry at 350°F for 5–7 minutes, shaking the basket every 2 minutes, until the croutons are golden brown and crisp.

4. Cool.
   Transfer to a plate or baking sheet and let cool completely. They’ll get even crunchier as they cool.

Fred’s Tip

Day-old bread makes terrific croutons, but fresh store-bought bread works just fine. Try French bread, Italian bread, sourdough, or a sturdy sandwich bread.

Perfect for: tossed green salads, Caesar salads, soups—or eating by the handful when nobody’s looking.

Good Garlic!
