Notes

I often make a lot and always have leftover croutons, so if you thinking about what to do with it let me guide you. The leftover croutons can be stored for 5 days, keep them in an air-tight jar. Before storing make sure that croutons must be cooled and are at room temperature.

I am excited to share an amazing tip to use leftover croutons because can be as good as freshly prepared croutons. If you are wondering what to do with leftover croutons just air fry them for a few minutes at 390 degrees Fahrenheit.
