How to Make Croutons Made In The Wok

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon dried herbs (Italian mix, oregano, or your favorite blend).
  2. Add 6 cups of cubed stale bread (about a 1-inch cube size) to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the oil mixture.
  3. Heat your wok over medium-high heat until it's very hot. Add the bread cubes in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the wok. Stir-fry constantly for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if necessary to prevent overcrowding.
  4. Remove the croutons from the wok and place them on a wire rack to cool completely. This allows for maximum crispiness.
  5. (Optional) Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the cooled croutons and toss gently to coat.
