Method

Croutons

  1. 1

    Prepare the Croutons

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the baguette into bite-sized cubes and set aside. In a skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add garlic powder and salt, stir to combine. Toss the baguette cubes in the butter mixture until well coated. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Let cool.
