Throwing away stale bread is a crummy thing to do, so make croutons instead! They crisp up flawlessly in the air fryer and add the perfect crunch to any salad or soup. You'll never buy the boxed ones again.

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F.
Cut leftover or stale bread into 1-inch cubes.
Toss the cubes in a bowl with olive oil and your chosen seasonings until evenly coated.
Spread the bread cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Check for crunchiness; add 1-2 minutes if needed.
Let cool completely to crisp up further before storing.
