Making Croutons at Home


So these are super easy to make.  I usually don't buy croutons, but I've heard they're pretty expensive, much more expensive than 6 slices of bread, which is all you really need to make these.  So if you like croutons on your salad or floating on your soup, or just to snack on... try these out:

CROUTONS:

6 slices of bread, with the crusts cut off and cut into cubes
3 tablespoon of melted butter or olive oil, or a combination of the 2
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of chopped herb, like thyme or parsley
1/2 teaspoon of granulated garlic

Heat the oven to 300 degrees.  Put the bread cubes in a large bowl.  Mix the rest of the ingredients together, and drizzle them over the bread cubes, stirring them to get them evenly coated.  Put the bread cubes on a sheet pan in a single layer.  Try not to let them touch each other too much.  Put them in the 300 degree oven for 15 minutes.  Then stir them up and put them back in the oven for 15 more minutes.  That's all!!!
