Bella Products Used:
Bella Sun Luci California Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil 16.9 FL OZ
Sun Dried Tomato Tuscan Rub
Ingredients
- 4 c bread (French or Italian bread works well), cut into 1-inch cubes
- ½ c Bella Sun Luci Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp Bella Sun Luci Tuscan Rub Seasoning
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes. Stale bread works best for croutons as it holds its shape and absorbs flavors well.
- Place the bread cubes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the oil over the bread cubes, ensuring that all the pieces are well coated. Toss the cubes gently to distribute the oil and seasoning evenly.
- Spread the seasoned bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the croutons are golden brown and crispy. Stir the croutons halfway through the baking time for even toasting.
- Allow the croutons to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They will become crispier as they cool. Serve on salads, soups, or enjoy them as a crunchy snack.
