Homemade Croutons
If eating the hind end of a loaf of bread isn’t your thing…
Make Croutons!
(out of them)
It’s easy and here’s a few steps you could follow:
Cut up the slices of left over bread into small square-ish type shapes and place in a mixing bowl.
Drizzle olive olive over top of cubes and sprinkle dried parsley flakes, garlic powder and onion powder. Mix together.
Repeat step above and mix again.
(the parsley was feelin’ a little camera shy today. it happens to the best of spices – y’know)
Place seasoned goodness on a cookie sheet and bake for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
After baking for 10 minutes and while croutons are still in the oven, stir them around a little bit with a spatula.
Turn oven off and continue to bake for another 10 minutes.
When finished, take out of the oven and let sit for a bit to continue drying.
Place in a storage container with a cover, store in the fridge and Voila!
Croutons for your next salad!
Looks like this made about 2 cups. This was 4 slices of bread loaf ends :)
And make sure to watch over your shoulder… someone or something! might just want to come and over and take a bite without the salad!
