Can you believe Thanksgiving is a week and half away? I have been cooking like mad to finalize my Gluten-Free Vegan Thanksgiving Staples! I'll be sharing them with you near the end of the week accompanied with a printable version so you can easily print it out and use some or all of the recipes for your Gluten-Free and Vegan Thanksgiving dishes!
Why buy a bag of little rock hard stale bread pieces, I mean
croutons, when you can make them yourself?
This easy peasy recipe can be whipped up in a few minutes
using store bough or homemade bread. FYI
homemade is better! I wish I could say I
have created awesome gluten free bread recipe but I haven’t. I am still fairly new to gluten free and
baking. I’m slowly learning and
hopefully someday I will have my own recipe to share. Until then I needed some freakin’ bread to
eat I couldn’t stand those store bought excuses for gluten free bread one more
second. Thankfully I found this healthy gum and glutenfree bread recipe (I make the vegan version) from Gluten Free Girl and The Chef. It is pretty darn good and makes delicious
croutons!
Better Than the Bag Croutons
6-7 cups gluten free bread cut into 1 inch cubes
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp thyme
½ tsp pepper
Directions
1.) Preheat
oven to 400 F
2.) Place
croutons in a large bowl
3.) Drizzle
EVOO over bread to coat
4.) Sprinkle
spices over bread and toss to coat
5.) Spread
out on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes – check after 10 since oven temperatures
vary and you don’t want them to burn
6.) Remove
when browned* and crunchy on the outside. (* The bread pictured is already brown in color because of teff and buckwheat, your croutons don't need to be this brown.)
Use these delicious croutons to
top salads, soups, and make heavenly stuffing (recipe coming later this week!)
What do you love to do with croutons? Top soup or salad or
just eat them like Mr. Darling does?
