Ingredients
  

  • 400 g Sourdough Bread approx 4 to 6 slices
  • 40 g Olive Oil
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder, Italian Seasoning, Rosemary Leaves Optional Seasonings

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350F/180C.
  • Cut the slices of sourdough bread into cubes (around ¾ to 1 inch). Make sure some have the crust on and others don't for a more rustic feel to your sourdough croutons.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place your cubed sourdough bread onto the tray. Pour the olive oil over the cubed sourdough bread and sprinkle with salt and pepper (add as much or as little as you'd like).
    If you'd like to add other seasonings like rosemary, Italian herbs, garlic powder etc, add this to the pan now. Generally 1 teaspoon is plenty.
  • Gently toss the bread around with your hands to ensure each cube is coated with olive oil.
  • Place the tray of croutons in to the oven to bake at 350F/180C for around 30 minutes. I like to take them out after 15 minutes and toss them around to ensure they are baking evenly.
  • Once they are golden and crunchy, remove them from the oven and allow to cool before using them or placing in to a glass jar to store them.

Notes

Seasonings - you can season these sourdough croutons with pretty much anything you have on hand. Seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, dried herbs, celery salt, Italian seasoning all work really well. Let your imagination run wild!
These sourdough croutons can be baked in the air fryer if you prefer. 
You can use any type of oil you like - I prefer olive oil but use the oil you would normally use for cooking.
