Ingredients
- 4 slices gluten-free bread
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Cut the gluten-free bread into 1/2-inch cubes. It is important that the cubes are fairly even for consistent cooking.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir together until well mixed.
Step 4
Add the bread cubes to the bowl. Gently toss the cubes in the seasoned oil mixture to ensure they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned bread cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure that none of the cubes are touching or overlapping to allow for even baking.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the croutons are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Once baked, remove the croutons from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. This will help them firm up and add extra crunch.
Step 8
Once cooled, use immediately or store the croutons in an airtight container for up to a week.
