Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cut the low carb bread slices into small, evenly-sized cubes, approximately 1/2 inch each.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Add the bread cubes to the bowl and toss them gently until they are evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture.
Spread the seasoned bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the croutons are golden brown and crispy. Toss halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the croutons cool completely before serving or storing.
Enjoy the croutons as a topping for salads, soups, or as a crunchy snack on their own. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
