HOMEMADE CROUTONS
Makes however many you want
Ingredients & Method:
Heat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take a couple of thick slices of bread* and cut (gently) into crouton-sized cubes and put into a mixing bowl.
Sprinkle over some black paper, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Just eyeball it and give it a toss to distribute. Use whatever spices you prefer.
Add in a bit of olive oil, just eyeball it. Toss until bread is coated in oil.
Onto the sheet pan in a single layer, and into the oven for about 15 minutes, turning the croutons over halfway through. Keep an eye on them because they'll burn quickly.
*I used fresh homemade bread, which yielded a very delicate crouton. If you prefer, you can use old bread. Supermarket sandwich bread will also work, just adjust the bake time a bit - they'll bake faster.
