Spicy Garlic Croutons

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

On our drive back from Jackson last night, these spicy garlic croutons popped into my head maaany many times. I could not have been more tired, which leads to snacking, which leads to imagining what I want to snack ON. These babies are top of the list right now!

I literally could not stop eating these before they were done. Seriously, I was reaching into the (HOT) oven to eat these croutons because they are THAT good. This is not a recommended practice. Especially if you're a hand model. Burns may ensue. But really, how can you go wrong with bread, butter, salt, garlic, and spices? You can't. Ever.

These are super simple to make: chop up some bread, melt butter and cook the garlic in it for a few minutes, drizzle it + spices over the bread, and bake. Then, enjoy!

I'll follow up with a salad for you tomorrow, but I warn you: if you make these today, they won't last long enough to make it onto a salad tomorrow. They're just TOO delicious! I'm getting hungry right now just thinking about them... Ugh. I'll just have to make some more! Lately I'm feeling like I could live off of these croutons and cheesy delicious crackers!
