Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of bread 12 ounces, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning homemade or store-bought
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder optional
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, drizzle the melted butter over the bread cubes and sprinkle the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss gently until well combined.
- Spread the seasoned bread cubes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. If necessary, use an additional baking sheet to prevent overcrowding, as this can trap steam and prevent the croutons from browning evenly.
- Bake the croutons until golden brown, turning them once halfway through cooking to brown all sides. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the cubes, so keep an eye on them to avoid burning. This usually takes around 15-20 minutes.
- Once done, remove the croutons from the oven and let them cool completely.
- Serve the croutons immediately or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
Storage: To store homemade croutons, allow them to cool completely and then transfer them to an airtight container. You can store them at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. If freezing, be sure to let them come to room temperature before using them.
