" Crispy Sourdough Croutons: Soup's Best Friend"
Homemade croutons: craft these crunchy, garlicky sourdough croutons in just 20 minutes. Perfect for soups and salads, a simple upgrade to any meal.
Ingredients
- half a loaf of sourdough bread
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, finely grated
- salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Tear the sourdough bread into crouton-sized chunks.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil and finely grated garlic. Add the torn bread chunks and gently massage to ensure the oil is fully absorbed (some bread might crumble, adding great texture). Season thoroughly with salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
- Spread the seasoned bread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, flipping the croutons halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely before serving or storing.
