Ingredients
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 loaf crusty bread (about 12 ounces) cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, drizzle the olive oil over the bread cubes. Sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss gently with your hands until well combined.
- Spread the bread cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the croutons are golden brown and crispy. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
