Ingredients
- 3 thick slices sourdough bread (about ½ boule loaf)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons oil
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan (45g)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 390F.
- Cut the bread into cubes, about an inch large.
- Mix the bread cubes with the other ingredients so well coated.
- Place in the air fryer basket and set to cook for 10 minutes.
- After 3 minutes, give them a stir, and then stir every couple of minutes to make sure they crisp evenly.
- Cook until golden brown and crispy. Mine were perfect at around 8 minutes.
Notes
- Cut the bread into similar sized cubes so that they cook evenly.
- Preheat your air fryer to 390F before adding the bread. If you don't have a preheat function on your air fryer, let it run at 390F for 5 minutes. This will result in crispier croutons that are fully and evenly cooked through.
- If cooking more than a single layer, give them a stir after 3 minutes, and every couple of minutes after that to ensure they crisp up evenly.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
