I’m going to go back to basics with some of my upcoming posts. Most of what goes on in my kitchen isn’t about trying out new recipes or even baking cakes for that matter. Although, that gets the most applause! What I am doing constantly is replenishing my pantry and trying to make as much as I can from scratch and at home. This allows me to know exactly what is going into my family’s meals and it also keeps costs down. More money for fun, new ingredients!
One of the easiest things you can do in the kitchen is make your own croutons. First off, if you have bread that is stale, or about it be, you save by fully using every last bite. You can also use fresh bread, although I’d stick to a nice crusty loaf of Italian bread or something if you do that. You can do what I usually do and throw a few slices of white bread in the refrigerator and when you’re ready make up a quick batch.
Croutons are great to have around. You can toss them in salads, soups, crush them into bread crumbs, and you can even use them in this great Grilled Bell Pepper recipe!
Croutons
- day old French or Italian bread
- olive oil
- dried herbs (you can use whatever you like here)
- salt and pepper
- garlic powder (or onion powder or none at all!)
Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with tin foil. Cut bread into cubes and place them in a medium bowl. Drizzle olive oil over cubes. Usually, I’ll sprinkle my croutons with a dash of garlic powder, a little bit of basil, and some parsley. Toss and move the cubes to the baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
