Notes

Tammy’s Tips for Success

Extra Crunch: Check the croutons at the 4-minute mark. If you want them even crispier, cook for one additional minute.
Variety: Don't be afraid to experiment! Adding a dash of garlic powder or smoked paprika can completely change the flavor profile.
Storage: Once cooled, store your croutons in an airtight container. They will stay fresh and crunchy for up to two weeks!
