How to Make Rye Bread Croutons
- Dice the sliced bread into very small squares.
- In a pot heat the olive oil to low heat, add the grated lemon zest and garlic to the pan, cook for 1 minute, turn the heat off.
- Add the diced rye bread cubes to the pot, stir to coat the diced rye bread.
- Place on a baking sheet with parchment paper spread the diced rye bread cubes evenly. Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top, season with salt and a generous amount of fresh cracked black pepper.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven of preheated 425 degrees for 10 minutes. It will be hard to visibly see if the croutons are brown due to the rye bread color, it's best to try one and see if it's getting crisp.
