Fruit sweet and sugar free - crisp croutons

4 cups

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
6 tablespoons Olive oil or melted butter
1 teaspoon Dried ground thyme
1 tablespoon Dried basil
1 tablespoon Dried oregano
pinch Ground black pepper
pinch Salt
4 cups Cubed bread

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Stir the herbs and seasonings into the olive oil or melted butter. In a large bowl, drizzle the oil or butter mixture over the cubed bread, tossing to mix well. Spread the cubes in a single layer on a paper lined baking pan. Depending on the dryness of the bread, bake for 10-30 minutes in the preheated oven.

Stir the croutons every 10 minutes so they brown evenly. Cool the croutons before sprinkling on salads.

Croutons freeze well stored in plastic bags for many months. Stored at room temperature croutons will keep for a couple of weeks.
