Step 1:
How to make garlic croutons in a frying pan? prepare the necessary ingredients for this. You can use any bread for croutons. Try croutons from two types of bread. Each is delicious in its own way. It is best to take bread that has been lying for 1-2 days. Fresh bread will crumble very much when sliced, which will spoil the appearance of the toast. Take the amount of garlic according to your taste.
Step 2:
Peel a few cloves of garlic from the husk, rinse and pass through the press. Add vegetable oil to the garlic and mix. Leave the resulting gruel to stand for 10 minutes. During this time, the oil will be filled with the taste and aroma of garlic. The oil can be slightly salted.
Step 3:
Cut the bread into pieces. They can be of any shape - square, triangular, rectangular or just large blocks.
Step 4:
Heat a frying pan with a wide, flat bottom to a hot state and pour a little garlic oil on it. Lay out the sliced bread and fry it over low heat on both sides until golden brown. On a small fire, the bread will not only fry, but also dry out, turning into croutons.
Step 5:
You can leave the croutons on the cooling pan so that they become crackers. If the garlic flavor is not enough, you can rub the croutons with a peeled garlic clove.
Step 6:
Pour the finished croutons into a bowl and sprinkle with salt, spices and chopped dill to your taste. As a spice, you can use any dried herbs. Focus on your taste. Delicious and fragrant croutons with garlic are ready! Have a nice treat!

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).

If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
