Crunchy Ranch Croutons image

Instead of throwing away any stale bread, try this recipe for crunchy croutons. Enjoy on salads, on top of casseroles, soups, as stuffing for veggies or fish or meat. I have included variations too!

1/2 loaf sliced bread (best if bread is slightly stale)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, melted (butter or margarine)

  • Place bread cubes in a plastic zipper bag; sprinkle with dry salad dressing mix to act as dry seasoning. Securely seal bag and shake, coating bread cubes with dry salad dressing mix.
  • Spread cubes flat on baking sheet. Preheat oven to 325°F Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet.

These croutons are a great way to use up leftover bread. I always have a few slices of bread that are about to go bad, so I make these croutons and they're always delicious.

I was a bit skeptical about making my own croutons, but I'm so glad I did! They're so much better than store-bought croutons. They're so fresh and flavorful.
