Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices gluten-free bread
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Cut the gluten-free bread into 1/2-inch cubes. It is important that the cubes are fairly even for consistent cooking.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir together until well mixed.
Add the bread cubes to the bowl. Gently toss the cubes in the seasoned oil mixture to ensure they are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned bread cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure that none of the cubes are touching or overlapping to allow for even baking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the croutons are golden brown and crispy.
Once baked, remove the croutons from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. This will help them firm up and add extra crunch.
Once cooled, use immediately or store the croutons in an airtight container for up to a week.
