    Garlic and Herb Croutons (Vegan Salad Croutons)

    Super simple & delicious garlic and herb croutons - to take your salad game to the next level! So crunchy and full of flavor!

    Garlic and Herb Croutons

    I love a good crunch in my salad bowls! After all, I'm a sucker for a mixture of textures, so a crunchy addition to the salad is definitely a must for me.

    For a long time, I used store-bought croutons, until I realized how easy they are actually to make - and now there's no going back! A recipe like this is simply perfect to use up some stale bread, to know exactly what's going into the croutons, and to make them exactly how I like them the most.

    Garlic and Herb Croutons

    Ingredients for Garlic and Herb Croutons

    • sliced bread or leftover focaccia
    • olive oil/vegan butter

    Spices:

    • garlic powder
    • onion powder
    • sea salt
    • black pepper
    • smoked paprika

    Herbs:

    • dried basil
    • dried sage

    How to make vegan croutons

    For these croutons I've used two different techniques in one - the first part of the recipe is pan-frying the croutons. This distributes the oil, herbs, and spices perfectly and gives your crouton some delicious crunchy edges.

    To pan-fry the garlic and herb croutons, start by melting the vegan butter. If you're using the oil, simply heat up the oil in the frying pan. Add all the spices and herbs and stir them around - it'll start smelling amazing!

    Add the crouton chunks into the pan and toss them around to coat them in the oil and herbs/spices. Fry them in the pan for about 3-4 minutes until golden.

    Transfer them to a baking tray and bake them on low heat until they're fully crispy (but not burnt ;)). The exact time will depend on how big your croutons are, so stay close by to make sure they don't burn. Mine were baked for about 10 minutes before they were done.
