Homemade Croutons

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Using a sharp knife, remove crusts from loaf. Cut or tear bread into bite size croutons.

In a large bowl, whisk olive oil and spices. Add bread cubes and stir gently to coat.

Place on a baking sheet covered with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Bake for 12–20 minutes or until lightly browned and crunchy. Cooking times will vary depending on the size of the cubes and position in the oven. Turn the croutons halfway through the baking process. If using fresh bread, it will take several more minutes to get crunchy. Best way to tell if they are ready is to taste—they should be crunchy all the way through.
