Equipment

  • Baking Dish
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large croissants
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasonings
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Slice your stale croissants, and cube them into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch thick. Place bread cubes in a large mixing bowl.
  • Slice and finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press) until the garlic is minced into small pieces.
  • In a small bowl, add the minced garlic along with the remaining ingredients: the olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning blend, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix the oil and garlic mixture well, and pour over the cubed croissants. Toss well to combine.
  • Place the cubed croissants in a baking dish. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  • Allow croutons to cool, then add them to your favorite soup or salad as a topper.

Notes

Make Croissant Croutons in the Air Fryer
To air fry, follow steps 1-4 as normal. Instead of a baking dish, place the croutons in the air fryer basket, and air fry at 400 degrees for 5-6 minutes until golden brown.
Additions and Substitutions
    • Instead of Italian seasonings, you can use a different spice blend if desired: rosemary, herbs de Provence, and thyme are all great substitutes.
    • If you want to use a different oil, you can try making these croutons with avocado oil, sunflower oil, or vegetable oil.
    • Or skip the fresh garlic, and double the garlic powder if you don't have fresh garlic on hand.
