Ingredients
- 1 loaf Loaf of vegan-friendly Texas toast (thick-cut bread, dairy-free)
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast (optional, for a cheesy flavor)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Step 2
Cut the loaf of vegan Texas toast into even bite-sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces) and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, black pepper, and optional nutritional yeast until well combined.
Step 4
Drizzle the seasoned olive oil mixture over the bread cubes in the large mixing bowl. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat all the pieces evenly.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned bread cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that none are overlapping for even baking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the croutons are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the croutons from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet for maximum crunchiness.
Step 8
Store the cooled croutons in an airtight container for up to a week, or enjoy them immediately as a salad or soup topping!
