Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 1 loaf gluten free bread
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning or herbs de provence
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Make homemade gluten free bread first if desired. You can also use store-bought bread.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Place bread on a cutting board and cut into 3/4 inch cubes with a knife.
- Lay onto the baking sheet or into a large bowl.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and spices.
- Mix well to combine and evenly coat the bread cubes with oil and seasonings.
- Spread evenly on the parchment lined baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes. The edges should start to turn a little golden brown.
Notes
- You can use any kind of bread. Homemade or store-bought bread will work for this recipe. Stale and fresh bread will also work.
- For this recipe, I love the flavor olive oil adds. You could also substitute with melted butter or avocado oil.
- Use your leftover croutons to top a casserole for extra flavor and crunch.
- Store leftover croutons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. A glass jar or zip-lock bag works well. You can also freeze them for up to two months.
