Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Vegan bread
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the vegan bread into 3/4-inch cubes to create about 4 cups of bread cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper.
Add the bread cubes to the bowl and gently toss them with the seasoned olive oil mixture until each cube is well-coated.
Spread the coated bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove the sheet from the oven and toss the croutons to ensure even cooking.
Return the croutons to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Allow the croutons to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving or storing.
Store any leftover croutons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
