Here is a spicy and crunchy version of the all-time favourite bread croutons, which are served with soups and salads all over the world! We have deep-fried the croutons and tossed them in butter along with garlic and chilli powder.

This gives the Crunchy Garlic Croutons a buttery and spicy taste, which is so amazing that you will be tempted to have them as a standalone snack even without soup, pasta or salad! Make a batch of these Garlic Croutons when you find time and store them in an airtight container, ready to serve with Cream of Tomato Soup , Caesar Salad or any other appetizers of your choice.
