Ingredients
- 4 slices Texas toast bread (thick-sliced white or whole-grain bread)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder (salt-free)
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (salt-free)
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut the Texas toast bread slices into 1-inch cubes. Aim for even-sized cubes for uniform cooking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, and black pepper. Mix well to form a seasoned oil mixture.
Step 4
Add the bread cubes to the mixing bowl. Gently toss until all cubes are coated evenly with the seasoned oil.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned bread cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overlapping for even crisping.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even browning.
Step 7
Once the croutons turn golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Step 8
Store the cooled croutons in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or use them immediately as a topping for soups and salads.
