Air Fryer Garlic Herb Croutons

Air Fryer Garlic Herb Croutons

To me, the BEST part of a salad is the crunchy croutons! This is an easy recipe for homemade Air Fryer Garlic Herb Croutons 🙂

I like to cook them so they are crisp on the outside and a little soft on the inside.

So in the recipe I left a range of cook time to allow you to cook them according to your preference.

How to make Air Fryer Garlic Herb Croutons

I am starting with two ciabatta rolls.

But a French baguette or Italian loaf will work too.

Some fresh garlic cloves, or you can use garlic powder.

And fresh rosemary, or you could use dried Italian seasoning.

First cut the bread into cubes and place in a bowl.

This is about 3 cups.

Chop the herbs and mince the garlic if you are using fresh.

And toss in kosher salt, pepper, the garlic or garlic powder, and the fresh herbs or Italian seasoning.

Add more olive oil if needed.
