Forevermama's BEST Croutons EVER! image

These croutons originally were part of a minestrone soup recipe. The soup was nothing to write home about and not a keeper but the croutons were to die for! I've doubled and quadrupled this recipe because my kids can eat these as if they were potato chips. It is truly scrumptious especially over a "good" soup or salad. This is a great way to use up stale bread.

I've also tried using different seasonings in this recipe. Garlic powder, onion powder, and dried herbs all work well.

These croutons are so easy to make. I just toss the bread cubes with some olive oil and seasonings, and then bake them in the oven until they're golden brown.
