For a vegan option, substitute the butter with olive oil and the Parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast. Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your preference for spice. Store cooled croutons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain their crispness. Reheat briefly in the oven if needed.
