Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 4 Croissants cut into cubes
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 65 grams (⅔ cup) Parmesan cheese finely grated
  • 1 tablespoon Rosemary finely diced
  • 3 tablespoons Olive oil
  • Salt and cracked black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/355F (no fan).
  • Place the cubed croissants into a mixing bowl and add the olive oil, grated parmesan, minced garlic, and rosemary. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and some cracked black pepper.
  • Toss the croissants in the seasoning thoroughly so that the croissant pieces are thoroughly and evenly coated.
  • Tip the croissants onto the baking tray and bake for around 10 minutes or until golden brown and crunchy.
  • Allow the croissant croutons to cool before serving as a garnish or in a bowl as a snack. Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days.

Notes

This recipe works best with croissants that aren't super fresh and buttery. Stale croissants will crisp up really well, so it's a great way to use up leftovers. 
I like to cut up croissants with a pair of scissors; it stops you from squishing them with a knife! 
Always preheat the oven and use an oven thermometer to make sure you are baking at the right temperature. 
Be brave and let the croutons go quite a rich golden brown for optimal crunch.
