Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Cut your bread into bite-sized cubes, ensuring they are relatively uniform in size for even baking.

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.

  4. Add the bread cubes to the bowl with the seasoned olive oil mixture. Gently toss the cubes until they are well coated with the flavorful mixture.

  5. Spread the seasoned bread cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are evenly spaced to allow for even baking.

  6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the croutons are golden brown and crispy. Check on them periodically and give them a gentle stir halfway through baking.

  7. Once the croutons are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.

  8. Store them in an airtight container or use them immediately to top your favorite salads.

  9. Serve the homemade Caesar croutons by sprinkling them generously over your Caesar salad or any salad of your choice.
