Description
  These super simple croutons are made using cannellini beans (or any other beans you have). Depending on your soy sauce, they can be a great gluten free alternative, as well as being healthier than traditional croutons. Just air fry or roast the beans until crispy, as use them to top a salad. They go great with my Greek Yogurt Caesar Dressing
