Sourdough Croutons

All you need are a few simple ingredients and you’ll have this herby Sourdough Croutons recipe in no time! Flavourful and crispy, these croutons are the perfect addition to salads, soups, or even as a snack. Seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, and fresh thyme, you won’t want to buy store-bought croutons after trying your first batch.

I’ve been on a sourdough kick lately so I always have a loaf in the kitchen and I’ve been loving making these croutons. I have an air fryer version but when I want to make a large batch, then I break out the sheet pan and turn on the oven to make these amazing garlic and herbs sourdough croutons.

 

Why You’ll Love This Crouton Recipe

• It’s the perfect addition to anything. While I love these croutons on soups and salads, I enjoy snacking on them as well. They’re so addictive!
• They taste much better than the store-bought versions without a lot of effort! Their texture is amazing! The croutons are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
• It doesn’t require a lot of ingredients to make these croutons! Most of these are pantry staples so you can whip up these croutons whenever you feel like it.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• sourdough bread — homemade croutons are perfect for when you have slightly stale bread hanging around the house. I love using sourdough for this recipe as it adds an extra tangy taste. Plus, sourdough is quick thick and sturdy.
• oil — I use olive oil to crisp up the croutons but you can use any oil of your choice. Even flavoured oil!
• seasoning — I seasoned my croutons with garlic powder and onion powder.
• fresh herbs — I use fresh thyme but feel free to switch things around or use dried herbs instead.

How to Make Sourdough Croutons

• Heat the oven to 350F.
• In a large bowl, toss together the cubed bread, oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme.

• Transfer the seasoned bread to a lined sheet pan.
• Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, checking at the 15 minute mark and give the sheet pan a shake.

Recipe Tips and Notes

• If you do not have sourdough bread, you can make homemade sourdough bread with French bread, challah, brioche, milk bread, or any type of bread you have on hand.
• Make sure you spread the homemade croutons into a single layer so each crouton bake evenly.
• If you cut your croutons into smaller pieces, you will have to keep a closer eye on them as they’ll crisp up faster.
• Rosemary is another herb I love to toss the sourdough croutons in.
• For more flavour, you can toss the homemade croutons with freshly grated parmesan while they’re still hot.

Make Ahead Tips

• Storage: once cooled, store the air fryer croutons in an airtight container for up to a week at room temperature.
