Crispy Sourdough Croutons Recipe

Crispy Sourdough Croutons: Transform leftover sourdough into crunchy, flavorful croutons perfect for salads, soups, and snacking!

Sourdough croutons are very easy to make and with just a handful of ingredients.  For best results with your croutons, use day old, or two day old bread.  Your homemade croutons will store for 1 to 2 weeks in an airtight container or Ziploc bag.  Use your croutons to top salads, soups and more!  You can even blend them up to make sourdough breadcrumbs.

PREP: 5m
COOK: 10m - 20m

NOTES:  Your homemade croutons will store for 1 to 2 weeks in an airtight container or Ziploc bag.  Use your croutons to top salads, soups and more!  You can even blend them up to make sourdough breadcrumbs.  Adjust seasoning as you desre

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 Loaf of Sourdough Bread - 1 or 2 day old bread works best
  • 1/4 C olive oil
  • seasonings - I like to season mine with Oregano, Parsley, Garlic Powder, Salt, Pepper and Parmesan cheese

METHOD:

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 400F
  2. Slice your bread into small cubes - the smaller the cubes the faster they will dry out.
  3. Add cubes to a bowl and drizzle with the olive oil.  Mix. 
  4. Add seasonings in layers, mixing as you go.   I typically start with 1 teaspoon of Oregano, Parsley and Garlic Powder.  Pepper, salt and parmesan cheese are added to taste. 
  5. Spread out on a parchment covered baking sheet, bake for 10 minutes.  After the first 10 minutes mix, and  continue baking if they are not fully dried.
