Easy Homemade Garlic Croutons

1. Preheat the oven or toaster oven (much easier) to 350°F.

2. Spread bread cubes out in one even layer on a baking pan or sheet or dish or whatever.

3. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Lightly sprinkle with salt and garlic powder. Remember, the bread is already a little salty, so don’t overdo it.

4. Toss, then spread in an even layer again, and put it in the oven. Watch it closely—I recommend checking and tossing every 4 minutes. You want the pieces to bake until light brown and crunchy. The total time depends on how fresh or stale your bread was. It should be about 10-15 minutes.
