Low Carb Croutons

With these Low Carb Croutons I don’t have to miss out!! Can we get a YAY!!!

I go through cycles where I want croutons and sometimes I don’t. But these low carb croutons make me want to have them more often than not. Adding a bit of crunch to my salad and making it that much more satisfying.

These low carb croutons were made with a batch of my simple soda bread with 2 TBS of Italian seasoning added to it before baking. The bread came out a bit too herby for my taste so I needed to find a way to not waste it.

My friend Brenda from over at Texas Brew Salsa had messaged me a couple weeks ago about how she had made these Crunchy Croutons with my Basic Low Carb Yeast Bread and how wonderfully they had turned out for her.

Check out those pretty little crunchy gems…

Either bread recipe will work for these and they are super easy to make and store. You could even just cube up a couple of slices and toast them in the oven, but for me making the entire loaf worked a bit better so that we have them on hand for a few meals.

Brenda made her bread in a larger sheet pan so all she had to do was cube it and toast it. Super simple!!
