    The problem is that store bought croutons have normalized being dry, hard bullets. It’s not like that when they’re made fresh. They’re beautiful little pieces of buttered texture in your salad.

      Fresh croutons are one of the single best advantages of an air fryer

      Part-baked baguette cut into chunks, spray with olive oil, six minutes, shake after three. Nothing else needed

      A crouton is actually supposed to be that dry. It’s literaly in the name. A crouton is a piece of bread that’s so dry and old you can’t eat it, so you break it into pieces and put it in your other food

      Get a spray bottle or just coat your hand in water. Get a plate of croutons lightly moist. Then, just microwave it for about 30 seconds.

      There you doctored the croutons from “being a pain” to something regular normies can enjoy
