Cut the bread into cubes of the size you want – about 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 cm.
Toss the bread with the oil, season with salt and the herbs and spices you like, and mix well so every cube is coated.
I usually use dried parsley and garlic powder, perhaps a pinch of cayenne or similar. It depends a little on what the croutons are going to be served with.
Tip the bread into your air fryer basket and cook for about 10-14 minutes at 180°C. Shake the basket once during cooking.
Check after 8 minutes to see how they look – air fryers vary a great deal in how fiercely they heat, and the time naturally also depends on the size of the croutons.
Tip the croutons out onto a sheet of baking paper and let them cool before scattering them over your soup or salad – or pack them into an airtight container or bag.
The croutons stay crisp and tasty for several days in an airtight container.
