Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups French or Italian bread
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes, ensuring all pieces are relatively the same size for even baking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, dried parsley, and black pepper. Mix well to create an even seasoning.
Add the bread cubes to the bowl and toss them thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture.
Spread the seasoned bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. This helps them crisp up evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the croutons are golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Remove the croutons from the oven and allow them to cool completely before storing or serving.
Once cooled, store the croutons in an airtight container for up to a week to maintain their crispness.
