Crispy Homemade Sourdough Croutons
Homemade croutons are one of those simple kitchen upgrades that instantly elevate a dish. This recipe uses day-old sourdough bread, butter, olive oil, garlic powder, and thyme for the perfect balance of crunch and seasoning. They’re delicious on soups, salads, or even as a snack straight from the pan.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, 3–5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Step 3
Place bread cubes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the butter mixture and toss until evenly coated.
- Step 4
Spread bread cubes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Step 5
Bake 12–15 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
- Step 6
Cool slightly before serving — they will crisp more as they cool.
