Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Texas toast bread, soy-free
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, soy-free
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 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 or a silicone baking mat.
Cut the Texas toast slices into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
Melt the soy-free butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl until just liquefied. Avoid overheating.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper into the melted butter for a flavorful coating.
Pour the butter mixture evenly over the bread cubes in the mixing bowl. Toss gently with a spatula until all the cubes are evenly coated with the mixture.
Spread the coated bread cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, avoiding crowding to ensure even crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the croutons are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the croutons from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet before using or storing.
Store the cooled croutons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
