These homemade herb-infused croutons are a delightful addition to any salad or soup, offering a crispy texture and a burst of flavor.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Always preheat the oven to ensure even cooking.
Cut the bread into bite-sized cubes.
Using a serrated knife makes cutting bread easier and cleaner.
Place the bread cubes in a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil, tossing to coat evenly.
Add the oil gradually while tossing to ensure even coverage.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and seasoned salt over the bread cubes, tossing again to distribute the seasoning.
Mix the seasonings together beforehand for even distribution.
Spread the seasoned bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Using parchment paper can make cleanup easier.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Keep an eye on the croutons to prevent over-browning.
Allow the croutons to cool before serving or storing.
Cooling on the baking sheet helps maintain their crispiness.
