• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the gluten-free pumpernickel bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Drizzle the olive oil over the bread cubes, and toss them gently to ensure they are evenly coated.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the oiled bread cubes, tossing gently to distribute the spices evenly.

Step 6

Spread the seasoned bread cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then stir the croutons to ensure even browning.

Step 8

Continue to bake for another 10 minutes, or until the croutons are crispy and golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the croutons from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

Step 10

Once cooled, store the croutons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
