Croutons

Croutons are an essential addition to many salads. They are delicious and easy

to make at home.

Ingredients

Hearty White Bread

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Spices

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (roughly 180°C). Gently cut slices of white bread into

squares with a chef’s knife. One to two slices is usually enough for one

person.

2. In a large bowl combine olive oil, spices, and bread squares and gently mix

to thoroughly season bread. Spices can be anything but I recommend oregano,

paprika, black pepper, garlic powder or freshly minced garlic, and a small

pinch of cayenne.

3. Spread seasoned bread squares large face down onto a baking sheet evenly and

put in oven for 6-8 minutes. Once the bread has crisped flip each square and

put back in oven for another 6-8 minutes or until crispy throughout.

4. Once fully baked, let rest until cool. These can be eaten immediately or

saved in a sandwich bag for later.
