Parmesan Croutons

Recipe Amount:

It was purely accidental that I discovered that croutons could last a very long time if baked in the right way. After croutons are done baking (light brown), turn off the heat and leave the croutons in the oven for another 20 minutes. Croutons need to be crispy all the way through, so they maintain shelf life. If they are still chewy on the inside, put them back in the oven for another 4-5 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 8 Cup Homemade French Bread - Crusts removed, cut into 3/4 inch cubes
  • 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
  • 12 Garlic Cloves - Minced
  • 1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • Black Pepper - To taste

Preparation

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 350F degrees.  Combine olive oil and garlic in a large bowl.  Add the bread and toss to coat.  Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and toss again.

Step 2:

Spread on 2 sheet pans and bake for 30 minutes, rotating pans halfway through.  To brown evenly, shake the pan to brown the other side. Croutons should be a golden brown. Turn oven off and let the croutons sit in the oven for another 20 minutes.  Remove and let croutons cool completely.
