Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the gluten-free bread slices into 1/2-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and ground black pepper.
Drizzle the seasoned olive oil mixture over the bread cubes in the mixing bowl.
Toss the bread cubes until they are evenly coated with the oil mixture.
Spread the coated bread cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the croutons are golden brown and crisp, stirring halfway through for even baking.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet before using or storing.
Store any leftover croutons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
