Homemade Gluten Free Croutons
An easy recipe for homemade gluten-free croutons. Learn to make homemade croutons to use in salads, soups, stuffing, and more! The recipe is also dairy-free.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf gluten-free bread, About 396g, cut into 3/4-inch cubes.
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the loaf of bread into 3/4-inch cubes and place in a large bowl.
- Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the bread. Drizzle the bread cubes with olive oil. Toss until all of the bread cubes are well coated.
- Spread the bread cubes onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure the bread cubes are in an even layer and not touching.
- Bake for 10 to 20 minutes, or until the croutons are golden brown. If you are using fresh bread, it will take a little longer to become golden brown. If the bread is stale or dry, it will brown faster. Please watch your oven at the 10-minute mark.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Store leftovers in an airtight container either at room temperature or the refrigerator. The croutons can also be frozen.
Notes
- For dairy-free and vegan croutons: use a gluten-free bread that is also dairy and egg-free.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
- The croutons can be frozen for several months. Defrost on the countertop or in the refrigerator overnight. To re-crisp: broil or bake at 120°C for a few minutes.
