Garlic Croutons

Make these delicious garlic croutons to add a little crunch to lentil vegetable soup.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 loaf day-old bread
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed

DIRECTIONS

  1. To make the croutons, cut the bread into 3/4-inch cubes. Heat a large skillet over high heat and add the olive oil, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan.
