Garlic Parmesan Sourdough Croutons
Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 101kcal
Ingredients
- 4 cups sourdough bread (cubed, day-old works best)
- 2 TBSP olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 2 cloves garlic (finely minced, or ½ tsp garlic powder)
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp dried oregano (or thyme, optional)
- 2 TBSP Parmesan cheese (freshly grated, optional)
- fresh parsley (minced, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl toss the bread cubes with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs until evenly coated.
- Spread cubes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes, stir, then bake another 8–10 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Remove from the oven, immediately sprinkle with Parmesan or nutritional yeast, and toss gently to coat.
- Cool slightly and garnish with parsley.
Notes
- Keeps well in an airtight container for 3–4 days. Re-crisp in the oven before serving if needed.
- For a dairy free version that's still cheesy, instead of the Parmesan cheese use nutritional yeast and add after baking.
