I don’t like store bought croutons. They are just way too crunchy. I want to enjoy my salad without breaking off a tooth, you know?

These are incredibly easy. Not only do they not break your teeth, it’s a great way to use up leftover sandwich bread. Below is enough for about 3-4 salads. 2 salads if you keep eating them before it’s time for dinner.

Ingredients:

6 slices of sandwich bread

3-4 T butter, melted

1/2-1 t garlic powder (depending on how garlicky you want them)

Preheat oven to 350°

Cut bread into small cubes. I do one slice at a time so the slices don’t stick together when you cut them.

Stir garlic powder into melted butter.

Put bread cubes onto an ungreased baking sheet and toss with the butter/garlic mixture.

Spread evenly and bake until golden brown, stirring once or twice, about 15 minutes.

Serve over any salad. (I love it on caesar with freshly grated parmigano reggiano)
