Easy Herbed Croissant Croutons Recipe
These croissant croutons come together in less than 15 minutes and add the perfect buttery crunch to any salad or soup.
Ingredients
- 2 regular-sized croissants
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Slice croissants into bite-size cubes (about 1 inch pieces). Aim for even pieces so everything cooks at the same speed.
- Toss cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until coated.
- Spread evenly on your baking sheet.
- Bake for 5 minutes, toss, and bake an additional 3–5 minutes until lightly golden and crisp around the edges.
- Let cool completely so they finish crisping.
Notes
- This recipe makes about 2 cups, which is the perfect amount for topping a large salad when you’re hosting or bringing a dish to a gathering.
- Let the croutons cool completely before storing so they stay crisp and don’t soften from trapped steam.
- Store leftover croutons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, keeping them away from moisture so they stay crunchy.
- To make croissant croutons in air fryer, cook at 350 degrees for 5-7 minutes, shaking halfway through.
