Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cut bread into cubes and put into a medium-sized bowl.
Add the Italian herb seasoning, parsley, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the croutons.
Toss everything together until the cubes are well coated with seasoning and olive oil.
Spread the croutons evenly onto a baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes or until toasted to your liking, flipping halfway through.
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to three days.

Notes

For best results, bake on a cast iron baking sheet or a regular baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Day-old bread works great for this! Be sure to cut the bread into generous bite-sized cubes. Use a high-quality olive oil that you would normally use for salad dressings.

Everyone's ovens are different, so after you flip the croutons, be sure to keep an eye on them so they don't get overdone. Once they start to brown, they will very quickly finish cooking.
