Really, Really good Croutons

Let's be honest, store-bought croutons are not even worth eating, much less spending money on, especially when you can make your own for a mili-fraction of what they cost and they make any salad taste like a million bucks! Not to mention, they are sooooo easy to make. Here's how

Homemade Croutons:
Bread ( I prefer sourdough, french or something of the sort, but I've also used buns, rolls, and whole wheat sandwich bread and had great results, pretty much you can use anything that wont fall apart on you.)
Olive Oil
Garlic Powder/salt
salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 425. Cut your bread into cubes and spread out on a rimmed baking sheet.


Drizzle with olive oil and toss until coated. Next, sprinkle with your seasonings. I've never measured, but I'd estimate about a 1st of each, give or take. Oh- feel free to use any seasonings you'd like. Try italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, just salt & pepper. You can't go wrong, just make sure you get enough on there to coat all the pieces. After you've sprinkles, give then another toss to coat, then pop 'em in the oven for 8-10 min, checking often. They are done when golden brown and toasted, we don't want any soft croutons. Let cool, serve on your salad and get ready for some rave reviews.
