Homemade Sourdough Croutons Recipe
Homemade Sourdough Croutons, an easy homemade croutons recipe using leftover sourdough bread. Only 3 ingredients and 15 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 loaf sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
- Optional ingredients: spices like garlic powder or dried herbs like parsley, oregano, or basil
Instructions
- Preheat oven + prep bread: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cut sourdough bread loaf into 1 inch thick slices, then cut each bread slice into 1 inch cubes. Place the cubed sourdough pieces into a large mixing bowl.
- Add oil + spices: Drizzle olive oil over the sourdough pieces, then sprinkle in a pinch of salt and pepper and any desired optional spices. Toss to combine.
- Bake until crispy: Spread the oiled and seasoned sourdough bread cubes onto a baking sheet. Baked in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the croutons are crispy and beginning to brown, flipping once halfway to cook on all sides. When the bread is done baking, remove from the oven and let cool.
- To serve + store: After the sourdough croutons have cooled, serve on top of salads or soups. Store in an airtight container on the countertop for up to 5-6 days.
Notes
- Recipe notes: This crouton recipe is made with sourdough bread, but any type of bread can be used. We like ciabatta bread, rye bread, or a thick whole grain loaf for homemade croutons.
- Leftovers + storage: After croutons have cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature for 5 days, or in the refrigerator for 6-7 days. We do not recommend freezing as the croutons will lose their crisp texture after thawing.
- Nutrition notes: This recipe uses all plant-based ingredients, making it suitable for vegan diets.
