INGREDIENTS

▢ 6 oz gluten-free multi-grain bread (about ½ loaf) cubed I used Trader Joe's gluten-free multi-grain bread. You can use 1 loaf of white bread instead.
▢ 6 oz gluten-free white bread (about ½ loaf), cubed I used Trader Joe's gluten-free white sandwich bread.
▢ 1 teaspoon garlic powder
▢ 1 tablespoon chopped curly leaf parsley or dried parsley
▢ ½ cup salted butter, melted

INSTRUCTIONS

Set the oven rack in the middle position, then preheat the oven to 300℉.
Cut the bread slices into 1-inch cubes then place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped parsley, melted butter, and garlic powder.
Pour the butter mixture over the cubed bread then quickly toss to combine.
Spread the seasoned bread cubes into a single layer on a baking sheet, then bake them for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown, firm, and crispy.
Once the croutons have cooled to room temperature, transfer them to an airtight container for storage or use immediately.

NOTES

Tip

One loaf of bread for this recipe is 12 ounces. If your loaf is larger, you may need to bake the bread cubes in two separate batches to avoid overcrowding.

Croutons for Stuffing

You can also use this recipe to make plain croutons for stuffing. Just skip the butter and seasonings and bake for 25-30 minutes.
