    Gluten Free Sourdough Croutons

    a baking sheet with gluten free sourdough croutons straight out of the oven

    This easy recipe for homemade gluten free sourdough croutons is a great way to use leftover sourdough bread. These croutons are baked and delicous. This recipe tells you how to make your own gluten free croutons.

    I used my Gluten Free Sourdough Starter and my Gluten Free Sourdough Bread recipes to make these croutons. I like to leave the bread cubes out for a day or two so they are stale. They hold together so much better if the bread is stale.

    Then I take the stale bread cubes and in a bowl toss them with the olive oil and seasoning. They bake for 10 minutes and are ready to use. Honestly, I can eat these right off the baking tray they are so good. They store nicely in an airtight container for a couple of days.

    How long do homemade gluten free sourdough croutons last?

    The croutons need to be stored in an airtight container or bag. They should last for 3-4 days. If you need to store them for longer than that you can freeze them. I don't suggest storing them in your refrigerator because you will lose some of the crunch.

    Can I make breadcrumbs out of croutons?

    Yes! These work perfect for seasoned breadcrumbs. Let the croutons cool completely. Then using a food processor pulse them until you have your desired consistency. Store the breadcrumbs in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze them for later.

    What are gluten free croutons made from?

    For this recipe I used my Gluten Free Sourdough Bread. I make the loaf of bread and then save the heals and a few pieces for croutons. It's also great if you have gluten free bread that is getting stale.

    You want stale gluten free bread to make croutons. They have a lot more crunch and hold together better if the gluten free bread is stale. You can accomplish this by cubing up the bread and letting it set on your counter for a day or two.

    Gluten Free Instant Pot Taco Soup

    This easy recipe for gluten free instant pot taco soup made with beef is healthy and delicious. There are no beans in this recipe so it is Paleo and low carb. This is the best recipe to use hamburger and make a quick meal.

    two bowls of gluten free instant pot taco soup with sour cream and avocado

    I love a meal that I can make the entire thing in the instant pot quickly and easily. For this gluten free instant pot taco soup I add the ingredients to the pot, including the raw hamburger, and pressure cook manually for 18 minutes. It doesn't get much easier than that!

    two bowls of gluten free instant pot taco soup with sour cream and avocado

    Is this soup low carb?

    Yes! There aren't beans in this recipe so the ingredients are low carb. This soup is great for dinner or to package up for lunches. I like to add sour cream and avocado as toppings for some added fat.

    Instant Pots and Accessories

    Can I make this taco soup without beans?

    Yes. I don't eat beans (legumes) so I make my taco soup without them. Since I didn't include beans this soup is considered Paleo. I don't miss the beans at all. There is ground beef and chunks of tomatoes that make this soup hearty and filling.

    Can I use frozen beef in this recipe?

    Yes, but you will need to increase the cook time. I like to have the beef defrosted so the recipe only takes 18 minutes to cook. It's also nice to be able to crumble the beef up to get smaller chunks.

    However, you can add your frozen beef in and double the cook time. As long as it's not a large block of frozen beef that should cook it. As I said though I would rather defrost the beef to have smaller chunks and cut down on the cooking time.
