Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Low-carb bread
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the low-carb bread slices into small, evenly sized cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave until fully liquefied.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Add the bread cubes to the bowl and gently toss until all the cubes are evenly coated with the butter mixture.
Spread the coated bread cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the croutons are golden brown and crisp.
Remove the croutons from the oven and allow them to cool completely before using or storing.
Store any leftover croutons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
