How to Make Shaved Croutons

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Slice a baguette (or other bread) very thinly, about 1/8 inch thick, using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer. Aim for consistency in thickness for even cooking.
  3. Toss the bread slices with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper in a large bowl.
  4. Arrange the bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  5. Bake for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
  7. Enjoy your homemade shaved croutons in your favorite salads or soups, or package them beautifully as a thoughtful gift!
