Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf of slightly stale crusty bread 12 ounces
  • 4 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut your loaf into 3/4-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.
  • Drizzle olive oil over the bread cubes. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  • Spread the seasoned bread cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until the croutons are golden and crisp.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the croutons cool completely. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
