Cracked Black Pepper & Parmesan Croutons

Browndis
Browndis

Homemade croutons that take just 15 minutes, but they make such a big difference as store-bought versions often lack texture or go stale quickly, while these come out of the oven fresh, fragrant, and irresistible. The parmesan adds a salty, nutty bite, while the cracked pepper gives each crouton a warm, zesty kick.

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    Place bread cubes in a large mixing bowl. Toss with the olive oil, garlic powder, grated parmesan, salt and cracked black pepper and toss until evenly coated.

  3. Step 3

    Spread bread cubes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

  4. Step 4

    Bake 12–15 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.

  5. Step 5

    Cool slightly before serving — they will crisp more as they cool.
