Homemade Croutons: How To

Picture of Croutons - Tipnut.comFrugal tip: Don’t toss out your bread once it’s no longer fresh, homemade croutons are yummy! Here’s a quick and easy method to make them:

Homemade Croutons

  • Cut bread into large cubes
  • Crush garlic and mix with olive oil, brush on bread cubes (or put bread cubes in a bowl and toss with oil until evenly coated)
  • Brown in oven at 400° F. Watch till the croutons are golden brown, then remove from oven.

More Toppings To Try

  • Parmesan cheese (!)
  • Dry parsley
  • Dry ranch dressing mix
  • Onion salt

You can also use melted butter rather than olive oil.

Get crazy: Any bread will do and buns too! Use up hot dog buns, french & italian breads, even the pumpernickel will work.
