This week I decided to be a bit daring and create my own Homemade Garlic Croutons. See, my kids LOVE the garlic goodness but I wanted to see if I could make a healthy version. The result: an easy, inexpensive, delicious Homemade Garlic Croutons recipe. You gotta try this…
What made my Homemade Garlic Croutons healthy? I used Demptser’s Garden Vegetable Bread (vegetables in bread?! yes, there are carrots and pumpkin in it…but I assure you it doesn’t have an overbearing “veggie” taste).
- 6 slices of Dempster’s Garden Vegetable Bread
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- garlic powder (to taste)
- Heat over to 375C
- Place 6 slices of Dempster’s Garden Vegetable Bread on a cookie sheet
- Brush melted butter over each of the bread slices
- Sprinkle garlic powder on each bread slice (to taste)
- Place cookie sheet in oven and bake for 12 minutes.
- After baking (turn off oven), place toasted garlic bread slices on a cutting board and cut into cubes.
- Then, return garlic bread cubes to cookie sheet.
- Next, return cookie sheet to hot oven (which is turned off) for 3-5 minutes.
- Serve warm immediately or store in an airtight container for 2 weeks.
Homemade Garlic Croutons Ideas
These Homemade Garlic Croutons are great for after-school snack (and in the lunch box too). They are also crunchy additions to any green salad. Oh I realized a grown-up switch up when I stumbled upon my husband munching on my Homemade Garlic Croutons…
Garlic Toast with Brie and Salami
I know what I’m putting out for the guests the next time we do a wine & cheese!
Disclosure: #spon and these Homemade Garlic Croutons were truly a hit with the Brie. As always, the opinions in this post are my own. Visit Dempster’s on Facebook and follow @Dempsters on twitter
omg how easy is this thanks for the post
It really went well with the brie…just sayin’ #partymenuideas
Love making homemade croutons, we never buy the premade ones anymore. We experiment with different spices each time we make them! Try adding some parmesan cheese to the garlic/butter mixture.
These look yummy and like that they are a healthier version too!
Great idea – using Dempster’s vegetable bread! These sound very tasty!

My hubby loves his croutons. He has to have them in his salads or it just does not seem complete to him. this is soooo easy (why didn’t I think of it -lol) Thank you for this. Next time I will make them – he’ll love it 🙂
