Cinnamon Croutons

@arecipe.bsky.social

Cinnamon croûtons are a sweet variation on the classic salad croûton, which can be used to enhance a fruit salad. Alternately, these croûtons make a good addition to pumpkin, sweet potato, or carrot soups.

Yield 4–6

Ingredients

  • 4 slices day-old French bread, cubed
  • 4 tablespoons walnut oil
  • 4 tablespoons white granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. 1
    Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, and set aside.
  2. 2
    Preheat the oven to 350°F (~180°C).
  3. 3
    Heat the walnut oil in a frying pan. Add the bread cubes, then fry them, tossing to coat with oil.
  4. 4
    Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake for 8 minutes or until crispy and dry.
  5. 5
    Allow to cool well before handling, as the sugar will make these croûtons easier to brown, and thus hotter to handle initially.
