Tips:
- Use fresh herbs and garlic. Fresh herbs and garlic will give your croutons the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount called for in the recipe.
- Use a variety of herbs. Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs. Some good choices include rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil, and sage.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. When you're baking the croutons, make sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. If you overcrowd the baking sheet, the croutons will steam instead of crisp up.
- Bake the croutons until they're golden brown. The croutons should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, but still soft and chewy on the inside.
- Store the croutons in an airtight container. Croutons can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Baked herb and garlic croutons are a delicious and versatile addition to any meal. They can be used in salads, soups, and even as a snack.
