Notes

Nutrition Information is estimated using a database that this owner is not responsible for maintaining. Exact nutrition information will depend on actual ingredients and amounts used when making this recipe. And remember, there is so much more to food than what you will find on a Nutrition Facts Label :)

Garlic salt can be substituted with 'everything but the bagel' seasoning, salt and garlic powder, or your favorite herb blend.
Avocado oil can be used in place of olive oil.
Day old fresh bread or stale bread will give the most crunch to croutons. Still, regular sandwich bread will work just fine!
If you use air fryer that doesn't allow air to circulate under the basket, consider tossing the croutons after the first two minutes.
If you have an air fryer that causes pieces to blow around, cover them with another air fryer rack.
Always follow the manufacturers instructions on how to properly and safely use your air fryer.
I use a Cuisinart Digital AirFryer Toaster Oven and do not need to toss the croutons halfway through. Different air fryers might require small adjustments in temperature and/or cook time.
