You could also use sourdough bread, ciabatta bread or really any loaf of bread will work, just make sure the bread is about a day or 2 old for the best results.<\/li>\n<li><strong>olive oil <\/strong>\u2013 this is used to crisp up these croutons and make them nice and golden.  You could also use avocado oil or melted butter, if you prefer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>seasonings<\/strong> \u2013 a combination of garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper which adds so much flavor to these croutons!  Feel free to add whatever type of seasoning you\u2019d like.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Homemade Croutons<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dice your bread. <\/strong> Cut your baguette (or loaf of bread) into 1-inch cubes until you get about roughly 4 cups.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toss with seasonings. <\/strong> In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper, until all the bread cubes are evenly coated.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake until crispy. <\/strong> Spread the bread cubes in an even layer on a <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/sheetpn\">large baking sheet<\/a> lined with parchment paper, or coated with nonstick spray. Bake at 400 degrees F for about 13 to 15 minutes, until golden and crispy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve or store. <\/strong> You can serve these croutons immediately or let them come to room temperature and store them in a sealed, airtight container for up to 2 weeks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1645\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Learn how to make Easy Homemade Croutons that are crispy, garlicky and super quick to make!
