Make crispy, artisanal sourdough croutons at home using stale bread. These oven baked croutons, coated in garlic butter, are a simple way to upgrade your salads.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups stale sourdough bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Whisk until mixed well.
  3. Place the sourdough bread cubes in a large bowl. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the bread. Toss gently until all the cubes are evenly coated.
  4. Spread the coated bread cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overlap them.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the croutons are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up more as they cool.

Notes

  • Use day-old or slightly dry sourdough for the best texture.
  • For extra flavor, add 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • Store your crispy salad toppings in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
