How do I store home-made croutons?

Question

I'm afraid they'll lose their crunch in the refrigerator, but also worry about spoilage if kept at room temperature?

Which is best?

(I just use cubed white bread, tossed in olive oil, garlic powder, and salt, and browned in the oven.)

Answer 1

They won't spoil if kept at room temperature.  I keep mine in a container with a snap-on lid.  They stay fresh for days.

***Here's a tip: order Sandwich Sprinkle from Penzeys.com, and make croutons with that.  It is so incredibly delicious!

Answer 2

has long as you dried them out enough they are OK to keep at room temp for a week, ive seen them last longer though, just put them in an air tight container or zip bag
