Croutons

Description

Croutons are a great way to repurpose old bread. They are quick, easy to make, and delicious! I like to use mine in Kale salad.

Ingredients

  • Bread (Any bread will do!)
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic Powder

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Slice up bread into cubes.
  3. Place bread cubes on non-stick sheet pan.
  4. Cover bread with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  5. Bake croutons in oven until brown. I recommend flipping or mixing around the bread pieces halfway through the bake.1
  6. Once brown, turn off oven and let croutons harden for 5 minutes.
  7. Remove croutons from oven and let them cool.
  8. Once cool, store in an airtight container. I like to store mine in a Mason Jar.

  1. I find the bake time varies based on how dense the bread you are using is. Airy bread can take closer to 5 minutes while denser bread can take closer to 10 minutes. Rather than setting a timer, I recommend keeping an eye on the bread as it bakes.
