I’ve been looking for ways to reduce the amount of waste I produce and the first place I looked was in my own kitchen. My household doesn’t eat a lot of bread so we ALWAYS have half a loaf that ends up in the bin.

I had this very stale loaf sitting on the counter (left over from my gazpacho recipe - check it out!) so I thought I’d try and salvage it by making croutons. I’m so glad that I did because these are so delicious! Plus they’ll keep for a lot longer now that they’re dried out.

These are perfect as salad or soup toppers or just to munch on as a snack. You can change up the flavours by experimenting with different herbs and spices.

This recipe is suitable for #vegetarian diets. It can also be adapted to a #vegan diet by substituting butter with any cooking oil of choice.
