Description

Forget those pricey bags of store-bought croutons—these air fryer sourdough croutons are crispy, golden, and ready in minutes. They’re the perfect way to use up leftover bread, and once you try them, you’ll never go back to boxed!


Ingredients

Scale

34 slices sourdough bread

12 tablespoons olive oil

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Pinch of sea salt


Instructions

Cut bread into cubes and add them to a bowl. About ¾-inch is a good size.

Toss with oil and seasonings. In a bowl or zip-top bag, mix until evenly coated.

Air fry at 375°F for 5–8 minutes. Shake halfway. Watch closely in the last 2 minutes—crispiness comes fast!

Let cool for 5 minutes. They’ll firm up as they cool.


Notes

  • Day-old or slightly stale bread works best—holds its shape and crisps beautifully.
  • Want extra crunch? Air fry 1–2 minutes longer.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to a week (if they last that long 😄).
