Description
How to make EASY Homemade croutons – a great way to use up leftover sourdough bread! Vegan!
Ingredients
- 4 cups cubed sourdough bread (3/4-inch to one-inch thick) or use any bread
- 1/4 cup olive oil (or spray olive oil-see notes)
- pinch salt and pepper
- Optional: 1/4- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic powder, Italian seasoning, onion powder
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F
In a bowl, toss the cubed bread with olive oil (see notes for a lighter version). If using a different quantity of bread, just lightly coat the bread in olive oil.
Sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and any optional additions.
Spread in a single layer on a sheet pan.
Bake 10-12 minutes, give a stir and continue baking until golden, another 3-5 minutes.
Let cool completely. Store in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
LOWER FAT: For a lighter version- place cubed bread directly on a sheet pan. Spray with spray olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and optional garlic powder. Give a toss. Spray a little more if you like. Bake the same as above.
Feel free to use garlic salt or onion salt or seasoned salt instead of the salt.
