Croutons are probably one of the easiest things you can make in the kitchen after boiling water. If you can make toast, you can do it! :) The best thing about your own homemade croutons is that you choose your seasonings and flavors and know the ingredients. I published this how-to back in January, but felt it needed it's own post. Croutons are an important part of an excellent salad!
Homemade Croutons
Ingredients
- Day old bread (homemade is preferable)
- Butter, margarine, or coconut oil
- Herbs, seasonings, spices, salt, pepper, etc.
Directions
- Take a loaf or slices of "day old" bread. If it's not dry enough,slice it, and bake it on 200 for 10 minutes to dry it out.
- Butter each slice of bread then cut into cubes
- Spread out cubes on a baking sheet, sprinkle with powdered garlic, onion, or whatever dried herb blend you wish. I used rosemary, basil, garlic, onion, cumin, and black pepper.
- Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 10-15 minutes. (Watch them! Burned croutons are about as good as burnt popcorn!)
