I know it seems strange that I'm making croutons, but I promise they were part of a fantastic salad! Plus, I got to use an old roll that we otherwise would have had to throw away.
The Recipe: Garlic Sesame Croutons
- 1 sesame roll, cut into small cubes
- 1/2 stick of butter
- Pepper
- Garlic Salt
The Process:
- Melt the butter onto a pan
- Put the pepper and garlic salt into the melted butter
- Cook the roll cubes in the pan, moving them around so they take in more of the solution
- Cook until the solution has dissipated and the croutons have browned.
- Cool on a rack for about 10 minutes.
- Enjoy!

Divided by 30, this means each crouton is about 21 calories.
What went right:
They are very delicious and addictive. My family enjoyed eating them on their own before the salad was finished. I must say, they make a great snack.
What went wrong:
Nothing! So tasty, all natural croutons.
What I would do next time:
It would be fun to try in a tomato soup or to make garlic bread. I would also like to try some different flavors, like making bacon in the same pan and then sprinkling them with cheese.
Will I make this in college:
Yes for sure. They're so delicious, only take a few minutes to make, and probably cheaper than buying croutons. They're also a great way to use stale bread.
Overall, a delicious, useful little thing to know!
