Garlic Parsley Croutons
Homemade croutons are a win win. We use up stale bread, a little fresh parsley, some garlic, drizzle of olive oil and seasoning to make this crunchy and delicious recipe. They are baked and not fried making for a healthier choice too.

Ingredients
3
cups
Stale bread
2
cloves
Garlic
1
tbsp
Parsley
freshly chopped
1
tsp
Oregano
dried
2-3
tbsp
Olive oil
Salt to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180℃.
In a small bowl mix the garlic, parsley, oregano and olive oil until combined.
Cut the bread into cubes and transfer to a lined baking tray.
Pour the marination over the bread and using your hands massage it until the bread has absorbed the marination.
Bake at 180℃ for 15-120 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes until golden on all sides.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper while still warm.
Let it cool before storing in an air tight container.
Notes
Use stale bread to make this recipe, either 1-2 days old minimum.
I like to grate the garlic but you can use a knife or mortar and pestle to mince the garlic.
Don’t over crowd the pan when baking the croutons, as this will not allow them to crisp up. You rather bake them in two rounds.
