Ingredients Needed for Homemade Croutons

• A Loaf of Keto Bread is the main ingredient for making homemade keto croutons. The bread is low-carb and gluten-free, making it a perfect base for this keto-friendly recipe. Loaf Keto Bread is made with high-quality ingredients such as almond and coconut flour, which gives the bread a delicious flavor and a moist texture.
• Melted Butter – Melted butter is used to coat the bread cubes, which adds a rich buttery taste to the croutons. The butter also helps the bread cubes to cook evenly in the oven and creates a nice golden-brown finish.
• Garlic – Garlic is added to the melted butter to infuse the croutons with a savory flavor. It’s finely minced and evenly distributed on the bread cubes to ensure that every crouton has the same delicious garlic taste.
• Salt – Salt enhances the flavor of the croutons and helps to balance out the richness of the melted butter. It’s important to add just the right amount of salt to get a perfect balance of flavors. Kosher salt works well too!
• Black Pepper – Pepper adds subtle heat to the croutons, which complements the garlic and butter flavors. It also adds a little texture to the croutons, making them more interesting to eat.

Optional: Italian seasoning, garlic powder, avocado oil, parmesan cheese, cayenne pepper, fresh herbs, or any other extra seasonings you’d like to add to make these crispy croutons. I like to add a little sea salt to mine.

FAQs for Keto Crunchy Croutons

What other kind of bread can you use?

If you don’t want to make Keto croutons, then you can use leftover bread. In my opinion that makes the best crouton recipe.

You can also use Italian bread, white bread, whole wheat bread, or any loaf of stale bread. The idea is to use old bread to make the croutons.

Of course, if you’re eating a Keto diet, you’ll want to use Keto bread. You can even use gluten-free bread.

What goes well with air-fried croutons?

Creamy soups, Amazing Steak Salad, or any of your favorite soups or your favorite salad. Homemade air fryer croutons are the perfect addition to any meal.

How long should I cook the croutons?

A great choice for making these croutons is cooking them until they are golden brown. Air fryer croutons taste best when they are crispy! You want to hear that crunch, so usually 8-10 minutes if enough time! Just make sure you do small batches, so that there is no food waste.

If you have leftover croutons, store them in an airtight container, so that you can enjoy them with all of your favorite dishes in the future.
