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

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. ↩
