Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the dairy-free Texas toast into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to combine.
Drizzle the seasoned olive oil mixture over the bread cubes and gently toss until all the cubes are evenly coated.
Spread the coated bread cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring none of the cubes are overlapping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, tossing halfway through to ensure even browning.
Once the croutons are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once cooled, transfer the croutons to an airtight container for storage or use immediately to top your favorite salad or soup.
