Ingredients

  • 3 cups of 1-inch cubes rustic sourdough or Italian country bread 

  • 3 Tbsp olive oil 

  • 2 tsp Kinder’s The Blend Seasoning 

  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed 

  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. 

  2. Place the bread cubes on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, tossing to coat evenly. Spread into a single layer. Tuck the smashed garlic cloves underneath and around the bread cubes so they perfume the oil and bread as they roast without coating the croutons directly. Sprinkle evenly with 2 tsp of Kinder’s The Blend Seasoning. 

  3. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and discard the garlic cloves. While the croutons are still warm, toss with the grated Parmesan so it lightly melts and adheres. Let cool completely.
