Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
Cut the stale rye bread into small, bite-sized cubes of approximately 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) each.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, ground black pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme, and paprika.
Add the cubed bread to the bowl and toss to evenly coat each piece with the oil and spice mixture.
Spread the seasoned bread cubes evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bread cubes are golden brown and crispy, stirring them halfway through for even cooking.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the sukhariki to cool completely before serving.
Store the cooled sukhariki in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
