Chef's Tips

For extra crispy croutons, bake for a few minutes longer, but watch closely to prevent burning.

Store the cooled injera croutons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Experiment with other spices and herbs to customize the flavor of your croutons.

If your injera is very moist, you may need to bake them for a longer period.
