Waffle Croutons for Salad Recipe

American · Condiment · 15 min total

Transform leftover waffles into crunchy, buttery croutons that add a sweet-savory twist to any salad. Perfect for using up day-old waffles.

Ingredients

• 2 cups leftover waffles, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, toss waffle pieces with melted butter until evenly coated.
3. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over waffles; toss to combine.
4. Spread waffle pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
6. Let cool completely on the baking sheet; they will crisp up further as they cool.

Tips

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• For sweet salads, omit garlic and onion powder and add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon.
• Use any type of waffle: plain, buttermilk, or even whole wheat.
