Notes
** Nutrition value is approximateTips for making these croutons
Make sure that the bread is indeed stale. The croutons will turn out much crispier. Crispy croutons don't become soggy in soups or salads.
Use fresh herbs because they give croutons a wonderful aroma.
Use extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil only. They have the perfect smoke point for roasting bread.
I salted the bread before roasting it, but, it's not necessary. Most breads have enough sodium. I added extra salt because of the recipe they are going to be put into. Stay tuned for that recipe.
Evenly space them out on the baking tray. They will cook more evenly.
Personally, I don't like to flip the croutons half-way through the roasting process. If you want to get a more even roasting of the croutons, feel free to do so. I won't judge you. :)
