Preheat the oven to 180 °C. For the croutons, cut the baguette bread into small cubes on a cutting board. Place the bread cubes on a baking tray and spread them out evenly, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika, chopped garlic, and enough salt. Bake at 180 °C for 10 minutes or until they are sufficiently golden, making sure to stir occasionally with a wooden spatula for even browning. Set aside until use. In a bowl mix the blueberries with the sunflower seeds, amaranth, and almonds. Add the dried parsley, ancho chili powder, and honey, and mix well. Place the previous mixture on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spreading it evenly, bake at 180 °C for 10 minutes or until the almonds are sufficiently toasted. Remember to stir occasionally with a wooden spatula for even toasting. Remove from the oven. Mix the croutons with the toasted almonds in a bowl. Enjoy with your salads. Remember that you can keep this mixture in a well-sealed glass jar.
