These Zesty Garlic Croutons are a flavorful addition to any salad or soup, offering a crispy texture and a spicy kick.
Cut the bread into bite-sized cubes.
Using stale bread ensures the croutons become crispy and not soggy.
In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Drizzle the seasoned oil over the bread cubes and toss to coat evenly.
Ensure all bread cubes are evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Spread the coated bread cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Leave space between the cubes to allow even baking.
Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F (230°C) for 10 minutes, then toss and bake for another 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
Keep an eye on the croutons during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Let the croutons cool before serving.
Cooling helps the croutons achieve maximum crunchiness.
