Hamburger buns – two packs of them – have been languishing in our pantry for quite a while now, with no plan to grill burgers anytime soon, and my family complains when I freeze them because they just can’t come back. So I threw them away. And then I rescued them. And made homemade croutons. This isn’t something I normally bother with, but it seemed such a shame to waste perfectly good bread, and homemade croutons change the salad game completely.
Homemade Croutons
1 pack of hamburger buns/ Italian bread/ whatever you have, chopped into medium sized chunks
1/4 c butter
1 t garlic powder
1/2 t salt
1 t parsley
Chop your bread to the size you want, melt the butter and add seasonings and pour the mixture over the bread. Bake for ten minutes, turn the croutons over and bake another 3-5 minutes. Store in a tight container.
