Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups, cubed Day-old bread
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes until you have about 4 cups.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the bread cubes to the bowl, and toss them until they are evenly coated with the oil and spice mixture.
Spread the coated bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the croutons are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the croutons cool on the sheet for a few minutes before serving.
Once cooled, store the croutons in an airtight container if not using immediately.
