How to Make Phyllo Croutons

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Stack 8-10 sheets of phyllo dough on a clean work surface. Tightly roll them into a cylinder.
  3. Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled phyllo into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  4. Gently unroll the phyllo slices and toss them in a large bowl to separate the strips.
  5. In a separate bowl, melt 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter. Gradually drizzle the melted butter over the phyllo, tossing constantly until evenly coated.
  6. Add 1/4 cup (20g) grated Parmesan cheese to the phyllo mixture. Toss gently to combine.
  7. Spread the phyllo mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the croutons are golden brown and crispy.
  9. Let the croutons cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking them into desired sizes.
