How to Make Low Carb Croutons

First, you’re going to need these ingredients (2 of which are available at cardnl.com)

1/2 Cardnl Keto Bread Loaf (recipe here)
2 Tbsp Olive Oil, Avocado Oil, or Butter (melted)
1 tsp Cardnl Savory Salt Seasoning Blend
1 tsp Dried Parsley

The directions are pretty straightforward, let’s review:

After you make the bread, slice bread into 1/2″ thick slices. Cut slices into small cubes (about 16 per slice).

Next, you’ll want to place cubed bread, oil/butter, Savory Salt, and parsley in a zip-top bag or sealable container. Shake vigorously to evenly coat all the bread cubes. Alternately, place in a bowl and stir to mix well and evenly coat all bread cubes.

After you’ve shaken and coated the pieces of bread, place seasoned bread cubes on a foil-lined baking sheet in a single layer and bake at 375ºF for 35-45 minutes (see notes), or until mostly hard and crunchy but not burned. Stir about 2 or 3 times during the baking process. Keep an eye on them for the last 5 minutes.

Let cool completely before storing in an air-tight container. Do not seal in container until 100% completely cooled (any heat will create condensation in the container and soften the croutons). Use within a week to reduce the chance that they will soften back up.

Ingredients

1 tsp Dried Parsley

Instructions

Slice bread into 1/2" thick slices. Cut slices into small cubes (about 16 per slice).
Place cubed bread, oil/butter, Savory Salt, and parsley in a zip-top bag or sealable container. Shake vigorously to evenly coat all the bread cubes. Alternately, place in a bowl and stir to mix well and evenly coat all bread cubes.

Notes

If you cut your cubes very small, like 1/4" or so, the bake time can be significantly reduced. Larger cubes will take longer to dry out.
