What equipment do I need to make croutons in the air fryer??
A set of teaspoons and tablespoons
This stainless steel measuring spoon set is perfect. I use the one that my pastry college provided to me. I did use the plastic ones, but let me tell you, yes, they may look boring, but stainless steel is best for long-term and safe use.
Big Bowl
I use big bowl because, when I shoot videos, it reflects the light, and you also get to see all the ingredients. It can also be used in the microwave.
Weighing Scale
Not everything good is costly, and this weighing scale is perfect for weighing for all your recipes. I have been using this one for 6 years, and then it broke because I dropped it by mistake. You would think I bought one after that, but no. I decided to use a tape and kept using it for 6 more months until it finally gave up, and I had to buy another one.
Spatula
Trust me when I say you need this silicon spatula. It’s the best thing ever! Nothing, I repeat, nothing can clean your bowl the way a spatula cleans it. Also, bonus points, it’s heat resistant, dishwasher safe, and has no cracks and crevices, so it’s easy to clean.
Air fryer
I had partnered up with this brand, and they were kind enough to send me this oven. Let me tell you, this is perfect for people like you and me because we not just like baking but also using the same oven for multiple purposes. This is not a sponsored post but a genuine recommendation from my side to check this out.
What ingredients do I need to make croutons in air fryer??
Bread (preferably day-old bread)
You will be requiring bread. Now, fresh bread is very soft and not perfect when you want to dice it up, toss in spices, and throw it in the air fryer. That is why day-old bread would be perfect. Also, croutons are like a leftover recipe, so there are high chances that you are here because you have some leftover bread.
Kashmiri chili powder
It will provide color with a mild kick of spice, which is why I prefer using it. In case you don’t have it, fireplace it with paprika.
Cumin or Jeera powder
This one’s a flavor bomb. I love the flavor of cumin powder, and if you don’t have it, please buy it. Thank me later.
Mixed dried herbs
These herbs will bring more flavor to the croutons. Mixed herbs include thyme, oregano, and rosemary.
Salt
I used regular table salt, and you can choose to sprinkle some sea salt, too.
Refined Oil
I have made croutons without adding any oil before. However, I am using oil in this one to make the spice mix stick to the bread. Half of it will eventually fall off, so be prepared for that.
