Homemade Crispy Seasoned Croutons

Croutons are an essential addition to many salads. They are delicious and easy to make at home.

Ingredients

• Hearty White Bread
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Spices

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (roughly 180°C). Gently cut slices of white bread into squares with a chef’s knife, using one to two slices for one person.
2. In a large bowl combine olive oil, spices, and bread squares and gently mix to thoroughly season bread, using your preferred spices like oregano, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, or freshly minced garlic, and a small pinch of cayenne.
3. Spread seasoned bread squares large face down onto a baking sheet evenly and put in oven for 6-8 minutes, then flip each square and bake for another 6-8 minutes or until crispy throughout.
4. Once fully baked, let rest until cool before eating immediately or storing in a sandwich bag for later.
