Homemade Croutons

Ingredients

4 cups Flourish baguette

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

3 garlic cloves thinly sliced

2 tablespoons Italian parsley minced

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions: 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375° F.
  2. Place the bread cubes in a large bowl and set aside.
  3. Heat the olive oil and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat until the garlic begins to turn golden and becomes fragrant, about 4-5 minutes. Be careful the garlic doesn’t burn or it will taste bitter. Strain or pick the garlic cloves out of the oil and discard or save for another use.
  4. Drizzle the oil over the bread cubes and toss to coat.
  5. Scatter onto a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until the bread cubes are golden, flipping the cubes occasionally.
  6. Remove from the oven and add back to the bowl.
  7. Toss with the parsley and salt and pepper and set aside to cool.
  8. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
