Turn on your Foodi and select SEAR / SAUTE, set the temperature to HI and start.
Step 2

Immediately melt 15g of butter in the pot and add the diced gingerbread to it.
Step 3

Cook for 2 minutes and stir so that the gingerbread is completely soaked in the butter.
Step 4

Then place the diced gingerbread in the Cook & Crisp basket and select AIR CRISP. Set the temperature to 200°C and the time to 7 minutes. Then start cooking.
Step 5

When the time is up, pour the gingerbread croutons onto a baking sheet to cool and harden.
