Homemade Sourdough Bread Croutons Recipe
Servings 8 servings
Crispy, crunchy sourdough bread croutons are the easiest way to use up leftover bread and the perfect topping for all your salads! Plus, that subtle, tangy sourdough flavor makes them so much better than ordinary store-bought croutons!
Ingredients
- 1/2 loaf (1/2 lb.) Rustic sourdough bread, cut into bite size cubes (about 4 cups cubed bread)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley, or fresh
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375℉. In a large bowl, or directly on the prepared sheet pan, toss the bread cubes with the olive oil and seasoning.
- Spread evenly on a large baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-16 minutes, or until croutons are lightly browned around the edges and crispy, flipping halfway through. Cool before serving.
Notes
- If possible, use slightly stale bread for this recipe. It tends to have a firmer texture, which helps it hold its shape during baking and results in crispier croutons.
- Allow the croutons to fully cool before serving since they crisp up more as they cool.
- You can line the baking sheet with parchment paper to help minimize the clean up if desired.
