Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces naan bread
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Cut the naan bread into small, bite-sized cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a seasoned oil mixture.
Add the naan bread cubes to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly with the seasoned oil.
Spread the coated naan cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.
Bake the croutons in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the naan croutons cool completely before serving or storing.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
