Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Texas toast (thick-sliced bread)
- 1 can Olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 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.
Lay the Texas toast slices on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife or a bread knife, cut each slice into 1-inch cubes.
Spread the bread cubes evenly across the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Lightly spray the bread cubes with olive oil spray, ensuring an even coating without soaking the bread.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, dried parsley, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the bread cubes, tossing gently to coat all sides.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the sheet, stir the bread cubes, and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the croutons are golden brown and crispy.
Allow the croutons to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving or storing in an airtight container for up to one week.
