Crispy and delicious Herb Croutons add texture and a salty/herby flavor to salads or soups. Try with our Rosemary Pea Soup.
To Make Herb Croutons
Place the bread cubes on a baking sheet, large enough to hold the cubes in one layer. Drizzle half of the oil over the cubes, toss, drizzle with the remaining oil and toss again.
Bake preheated oven (400 degrees F) for 10 minutes or until crispy, giving a toss halfway through the cooking.
Finely chop the herbs and combine with salt. Sprinkle the herb of choice and salt over the hot cubes and toss.
