Cinnamon Croutons
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.
Servings
4–6
4 slices day-old French bread, cubed
4 tablespoons walnut oil
4 tablespoons white granulated sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (~180°C).
Heat the walnut oil in a frying pan. Add the bread cubes, then fry them, tossing to coat with oil.
Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake for 8 minutes or until crispy and dry.
8 minutes
Allow to cool well before handling, as the sugar will make these croûtons easier to brown, and thus hotter to handle initially.
