Homemade Croutons Recipe

Preheat over to 300 degrees F.

Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray.

Remove the crust and cut the bread into small cubes.

Combine the garlic powder, salt, and Italian seasoning in a medium bowl.

Spread the bread cubes on prepared cookie sheet in a single layer.

Spray the top with more oil to coat and top with half of the seasoning and half of the shredded cheese; season with black pepper then bake for about 14 minutes or until dry, crispy, and golden brown.

Turn the croutons over, spray a little more oil and sprinkle with remaining seasoning, black pepper and shredded cheese; bake for another 14 minutes until done.

Store croutons in an air-tight container or ziplock bag. Makes 4 cups.
