  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Sourdough Croutons are the perfect way to use up leftover sourdough bread. Crispy, golden, and packed with tangy flavor, they’re tossed with olive oil, garlic, and herbs, then baked until crunchy. Far superior to store-bought and ready in under 20 minutes.

Season the Bread Cubes

3

Bake

Spread the bread cubes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, then stir. Bake for another 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
