Easy Homemade Croutons
Homemade Croutons are the best kitchen hack. This simple recipe comes together in just about 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1/2 loaf bread cut into 3/4” chunks, or cubes of preferred size
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Add bread chunks to a baking pan in an even layer. Sprinkle bread with salt, parsley, garlic and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat well and spread evenly on baking sheet again.
- Bake 15-20 minutes, until they are done, flipping after 10 minutes of cook time.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
You could use parchment paper or a silpat mat for easy clean up but I find that the metal pan helps the croutons to crisp perfectly. If you prefer to cover your pan I recommend using aluminum foil to line your pan.
