If you love garlic bread as much as I do, then you'll have to try my Crave-Worthy Homemade Croutons. These croutons are perfectly crispy, crunchy and oh so garlicky. They really are the most satisfying bite! Add them to your favourite salad, use them as a topping for any soup or simply enjoy them as a snack.
Why buy store-bought croutons, when you can make your own at home using a handful of simple ingredients. Repurposing day old bread never felt so good! So, let me show you how it's done. Grab a spoon and come and cook with me!
For a delicious and flavourful meal, enjoy these homemade croutons alongside my White Bean and Kale Soup, Pea Soup or Caesar Salad recipes!
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Cook Time: 8 - 10 minutes
Total Time: 11 - 13 minutes
Serves: 6 - 8
Ingredients:
6 slices of bread, cut into 1/2 inch cubes (See Notes below)
3 Tbsp olive oil
3/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400F. Place the bread cubes into a medium bowl, drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Give it a good mix to ensure that all the bread cubes are well-coated in oil and seasoning.
Transfer the bread cubes to a 11” x 17” rimmed baking sheet and bake for 8 - 10 minutes or to your desired level of doneness. Your croutons are done when they are golden in colour. Serve and enjoy!
Notes:
Choosing Your Bread: The world is really your oyster here! I typically use Delicious Sweet Hawaiian bread for this recipe but you can use whatever bread you have on hand. Rye, brioche, sourdough, wholewheat, dinner rolls, ciabatta, or gluten-free bread are all fantastic options.
Repurposing Day-Old Bread: If you have a few slices of day old or stale bread laying around the kitchen, don’t throw them out. Instead use them to make these croutons.
