Recipe View 0 mins Transfer the air-fried croutons to a plate lined with paper towels to cool completely. This will help them retain their crispiness. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the melted butter mixture.
Feel free to use different types of bread, such as sourdough or Italian bread, for a unique flavor profile. Adjust cooking time as needed.
If you don't have seasoned salt, you can use regular salt and add a pinch of paprika or onion powder for extra flavor.
Ensure the bread cubes are in a single layer in the air fryer basket to promote even cooking and crisping. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

    I added a little parmesan cheese to the butter mixture, and it took these croutons to a whole new level. Highly recommend!

  • Mikayla Hand

    My air fryer tends to cook a bit hotter, so I reduced the cooking time by a minute each time. They were perfectly crispy and didn't burn at all.

  • Lou Rice

    These croutons are amazing! So much better than anything I've bought at the store. I love how quick and easy they are to make.

  • Rosario Davis

    I've tried this recipe with sourdough bread, and it turned out fantastic! The texture is perfect, and the flavor is incredible.
