Crisp on the outside, with just the right amount of chew to melt in your mouth, these homemade croutons are made with fresh sourdough bread and perfect garlic butter seasoning.

Ingredients

▢ 10 slices sourdough bread remove from package and slice a couple hours beforehand, optional
▢ ¼ cup olive oil
▢ ¼ cup salted butter melted
▢ 1 tablespoon garlic salt
▢ 1 teaspoon dried parsley
▢ 2-3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cut bread into cubes and place in a large bowl. I like to use pre-sliced sourdough for convenience, but cutting up a fresh loaf of homemade or bakery sourdough bread is even more delicious.
Place bread cubes into a large bowl. Sprinkle dry ingredients over the bread cubes and toss.
Drizzle butter and oil over the bread cubes and stir gently with your fingers or salad spoons to combine everything.
Spread seasoned bread cubes in a single layer on a large cookie sheet.
Bake for 20-30 minutes (baking time will vary with the size of your bread cubes).
Stir croutons often throughout baking and monitor closely for doneness. Croutons are ready when they are browned uniformly and crispy. Be careful not to burn them!
Cooled croutons will stay fresh in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks.

Notes

Homemade sourdough bread is delicious, but store-bought works too.
You can play around with the herbs/spices in this. Try anything from dill, thyme, or oregano. If you like a little heat, add a bit of smoked paprika, cayenne, chipotle or Cajun spice.
Try to make these sweet by adding some cinnamon and sugar instead of the parsley and parmesan cheese.
