Golden Croutons

These beautiful, golden croutons are easy to make at home and add texture and flavour to your salads, perfect for a Caesar salad! All you need is half a loaf of stale bread, The Good Oil and salt & pepper.

Ingredients

½ loaf slightly stale bread – ciabatta, French stick, sourdough etc
½ cup The Good Oil
2 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
Salt & pepper to taste

Method

Preheat oven to 190°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
Use a bread knife to cut bread into 1-2cm sized cubes or tear for a more rustic crouton. Place bread on prepared tray and drizzle with The Good Oil.
Toss until well coated and season with salt & pepper. Arrange bread in a single layer so pieces are not overlapping or touching. Bake for 5 minutes then remove tray and toss or stir.
Return to oven and bake for a further 5 minutes or until golden & crispy. Keep an eye on them as every oven is different, they may need another 5 minutes or so.
When croutons are cooked to your liking, remove from the oven and leave to cool on a tray. Add croutons to our Caesar salad or your favourite salad recipe. If not using right away, store for a few days in an airtight container.

Notes

Serve in conjunction with our Caesar salad.

The Good Oil is locally grown in New Zealand and cold-pressed with minimal processing, retaining its natural nutrients and fresh taste. It’s a clean, GE-free oil pressed without chemicals, offering a healthy, versatile choice with a high smoke point – perfect for frying, roasting, baking, and salads. A great alternative to olive oil, it brings smooth flavour without overpowering your dish.
