Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Stack the slices of stale bread and cut them into small squares or triangles, about 1-inch in size.
Place the bread pieces in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the bread pieces and toss gently to coat.
Sprinkle garlic powder, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper over the bread. Toss again to ensure even seasoning.
Spread the seasoned bread pieces out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bread pieces are golden and crispy. Watch them closely to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crunchier as they cool.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Serve as a snack, with dips, or alongside cheese and charcuterie.
