The Olive Bin

Homemade Croutons

Preheat oven to 375F. In a large bowl, evenly drizzle olive oil over the bread cubes. Toss until well mixed and the bread is evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper and additional seasoning (if desired). Toss once more until seasonings are evenly distributed. Spread bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until golden, turning to brown all sides. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the cubes, so watch that they do not burn. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
