Gluten-Free Croutons

Jump to Recipe

You could easily get some store-bought gluten-free croutons but you would miss out on these. What makes these croutons so amazing are the baguettes I use. I don’t plug many products on my blog, but Against the Grain Gourmet baguettes are unique and make for the best croutons you will ever eat. The baguettes are made with mozzarella cheese which gives them a flavor, airiness and texture that can’t be beat. I am dairy-free for the most part, but I make an exception for this baguette.

gluten-free baguette, crouton recipe, cooking lessons

Three ingredients are all you need to make these gluten-free croutons – a baguette, olive oil and salt. Cut the baguette into cubes, toss with some olive oil and sprinkle on some salt. Bake at 400ºF for 5-7 minutes and you have croutons that are worthy of eating like a snack. But if you can resist eating them before other foods are involved – put them on a Kale Strawberry Salad, on Creamy Zucchini Soup, Creamy Asparagus Soup, or my Lentil Quinoa Soup.

Flavor variations

I love these croutons with just oil and salt but here are some great ways to put a spin on them.

  • Add 1/2 tsp dried Italian herbs, like basil, rosemary or thyme to the oil before tossing.
  • Add 1/4 tsp granulated garlic and/or 1/4 tsp onion powder to the oil before tossing
  • Use flavor-infused olive oil
  • After tossing with the oil, add 1/2 c finely grated parmesan cheese

Yield: 3 cups

Cook Time: 7 minutes
Total Time: 12 minutes

These gluten-free croutons need just 3 ingredients and are so good you'll want to eat them for a snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 - 8 oz gluten-free baguette (Against the Grain Gourmet Baguette is HIGHLY recommended)
  • 4 tsps olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 400°F
  2. Cut the baguette in half lengthwise. Then cut each half lengthwise in four long pieces. Then cut into cubes.
  3. Place the cubes onto a baking sheet (line with parchment if you have it). Drizzle on the olive oil and toss the cubes with your hands until they are somewhat evenly coated.
  4. Sprinkle with the salt and toss.
  5. Bake in the oven for 3 minutes then move the cubes around the pan a little bit and bake 3-4 minutes more or until they are golden brown.

Here is how to create perfectly GOLDEN BROWN & CRI Here is how to create perfectly GOLDEN BROWN & CRISPY chicken skin in the oven. Use chicken thighs for juicy meat that works on a budget. No fancy tools or ingredients.  Salt, chicken and a little patience is all you need. Link to the recipe in my profile.

This is my alternative to messy fried chicken. The best part is that it's affordable,  tastes better than chicken breast with very little effort & ingredients.

This gluten-free vanilla cupcake recipe is one of my tried & true recipes. It never fails me and has been the base for many of my other cupcakes. Top them with a luscious, creamy chocolate frosting and you have a classic.  Some @colorkitchenfoods rainbow sprinkles never hurt too.

I LOVE LEMON in just about everything, especially I LOVE LEMON in just about everything, especially in this gluten-free chicken piccata. Link to the recipe for this classic Italian dish in my profile.
🍋🍋🍋
Lemon, capers olive oil, butter and wine make this a perfect savory, acidy dish. Chicken piccata is a one-pan dish that uses a pan reduction technique. This means getting all of your ingredients ready and waiting at the stove for this process. My recipe provides step by step instructions to keep you organized.
