Ingredients

• 4 slices Texas toast (thick-sliced bread)
• 1 can Olive oil spray
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 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.

Step 2

Lay the Texas toast slices on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife or a bread knife, cut each slice into 1-inch cubes.

Step 3

Spread the bread cubes evenly across the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 4

Lightly spray the bread cubes with olive oil spray, ensuring an even coating without soaking the bread.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, dried parsley, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the bread cubes, tossing gently to coat all sides.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the sheet, stir the bread cubes, and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the croutons are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Allow the croutons to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving or storing in an airtight container for up to one week.
