Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Cut the gluten-free Texas toast slices into evenly sized cubes, about 1-inch in size.
Place the bread cubes in a large mixing bowl and drizzle them with the olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper over the bread cubes. Toss again to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Spread the seasoned bread cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they’re not stacked or overcrowded.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove the sheet and gently toss the croutons. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the croutons are golden brown and crispy.
Let the croutons cool completely on the baking sheet before serving or storing.
Store cooled croutons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
