Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Keto-friendly bread (thick-cut, Texas toast style)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the keto-friendly bread slices into 1-inch cubes to create crouton-sized pieces.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the bread cubes in a large mixing bowl and drizzle the seasoned butter mixture over them.
Toss the bread cubes gently to evenly coat them with the butter mixture.
Spread the coated bread cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then gently toss the croutons to ensure even browning.
Return the croutons to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the croutons from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Store the croutons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or enjoy immediately as a crunchy topping for salads or soups.
