Homemade Seasoned Croutons for Salads and Snacks
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread (sprouted whole grain recommended)
- Oil (as needed)
- Garlic powder
- Salt
- Onion powder
- Minced garlic
No-oil alternative
- Aquafaba (liquid from chickpea can)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper (optional).
Cut 2 slices of bread into small squares.
In a bowl, mix oil with garlic powder, salt, onion powder, and minced garlic.
Toss the bread cubes in the mixture to coat evenly.
Bake for 5 minutes, then flip each crouton to prevent burning, and bake for another 3 minutes.
Adjust baking time based on your oven to avoid overcooking.
Baking tips
For a no-oil version, omit the oil and use aquafaba to bind the seasonings to the bread.
Aquafaba is the liquid from a chickpea can and helps mimic egg white properties for better adhesion.
