Homemade Garlic Croutons

Everyone once in a while, I find myself with a loaf of bread that is just a little bit too hard to eat as is. This doesn’t happen frequently but when it does happen, I am a sucker for these Homemade Garlic Croutons.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Cut the bread into small cubes. Transfer cubed bread to a parchment lined baking sheet.
  3. Drizzle the bread with the olive oil and butter and then sprinkle with garlic, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning.
  4. Using your hands, gently toss the croutons and make sure they are coated with all the oils, butters and seasonings.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool before serving.

Notes

  • These are perfect to top salads - as long as you don't eat them all warm from the pan! It's also a lot of fun to grind them into crumbs for breading chicken.
