What You’ll Need
- 1/2 loaf French bread (see options)
- 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place bread chunks in a medium bowl. Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
- Lightly toss bread chunks with butter mixture and place on a large rimmed baking sheet; bake 15 to 20 minutes or until crispy and golden.
- Let cool then store in an airtight container until ready to use.
So Many Options!
- You can use any type of bread, from white to rye with or without seeds, to make these Crispy Croutons. Also, if you’d prefer, you can use 4 tablespoons olive oil in place of the butter which cuts down on the calories a bit. Plus, to make these cheesy, just add 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese along with the other seasonings, and reduce the salt to 1/4 teaspoon.
