Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 slices gluten free bread whole grain, store bought
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cut bread into 1-inch cubes and place them on a lined baking sheet with parchment paper. Be sure to spread them out in single layer to ensure even cooking time.
- Gather all the spices into a small bowl and whisk to combine. Then scatter the seasonings all over the top of the bread. Drizzle the olive oil evenly and with your hands or a rubber spatula, toss to combine.
- Bake croutons for about 15-20 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Notes
Notes:
Storage: Store leftover croutons in an air-tight container or zip-lock bags at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Helpful tips:
- Only make as much croutons as you need. This ensures your croutons are always fresh.
- The sturdier the bread, the better. Fresh croutons are best when made with stale bread or more firm bread.
- Season generously. But don't over salt!
- Cut the bread in larger pieces and ensure they are even in size.
- Watch the croutons carefully as they can burn. My oven runs hot and I suggest checking them after 10 minutes and also rotating the tray.
