Do these taste like the Trader Joe’s Cheese and Garlic croutons?
Jessica Fisher
I haven’t bought boxed croutons in a long time, so I’m not sure. Would love to get your feedback once you try them!

The TJ’s croutons came in a small 4 oz. bag and were a little pricey for that little bit of product. So, I haven’t bought them in ages and now that I’m searching for them online, I don’t see them on their website, so maybe they are discontinued. They were so delicious and crunchy, but not hard as a rock like some croutons. The texture was great. I’ll try your recipe, for sure.
Thanks!

how do you store these? I’ve made similar but they end up getting soft. These sound like they would be yummy!
Jessica Fisher
I store them in an airtight container.

Jessica, you asked what articles are helpful to us. Can I just say that I don’t know about everyone else, but I love a price breakdown. There are times when I am tempted to snatch up a bag of croutons or anything else prepackaged and after reading the label I throw it right back onto the shelf or wherever I picked it up from. Later on I’ll be thinking how I should have looked elsewhere for a healthier alternative because like you said, a bag of croutons is cheap, but homemade is “cheaper”! The biscotti recipe you posted had me thinking the same thing, homemade tends to be “healthier and cheaper”! Thanks for the reminder.

That’s good to know! Thanks!

Homemade croutoms are the best! I havent bought any in over 5 years! I love ones made from crescent rolls! I buy them marked down in the bakery. I put a little oil salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder and bake them. I just do that on the pan so i dont have to dirty another dish. Lol someday i need to try them with parm on them

Do these freeze well? Or are they fine in the pantry for awhile? Would love to keep them on hand in the freezer or pantry!
Jessica Fisher
Yes, I would freeze them. A couple days on the counter would be fine. But, then freeze.
Madeline
Thank you! I am a lifelong crouton smacker, so I’m excited to try these.

Novice here! Is there a reason you would not toss the seasoning in the bowl to getter LOTS of coverage (after the first toss has absorbed the oil)? I lust after croutons and totally eat them without the salad. My idea of trail mix is croutons, sunflower seeds and sliced almonds toss in my favorite dressing!
Jessica Fisher
I think it leaves too much seasoning behind in the bowl. If I’m sprinkling directly on the bread in the baking sheet, I’m making sure it’s landing on the bread and not lagging behind in the bowl.
