Ingredients
  

  • 1 old baguette or any other piece of bread
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp italian herbs
  • 1/2 tsp dried chives (optional)
  • to taste salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Pre heat your oven to 175 degrees Celcius or 350 Farenheit. Cut the bread you are using to make these in cubes and place them in a bowl. In a small container mix the oil with the seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add a tablespoon of the olive oil mixture, mix and add another spoon until all the oil is used. Keep tossing so all the pieces get some of the oil. It's ok if there are dry sides on the cubes, we don't want them drenched in oil. Now add them to a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for about 20 minutes, depending on the dryness of the croutons and the heat distribution of the oven, so check every other minute after they've been in the oven for about 13 minutes.
  • Remove them when they are crisp and a bit browned. Let them cool completely and safe in an airtight container. Enjoy!
