Cracked Black Pepper & Parmesan Croutons
Homemade croutons that take just 15 minutes, but they make such a big difference as store-bought versions often lack texture or go stale quickly, while these come out of the oven fresh, fragrant, and irresistible. The parmesan adds a salty, nutty bite, while the cracked pepper gives each crouton a warm, zesty kick.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place bread cubes in a large mixing bowl. Toss with the olive oil, garlic powder, grated parmesan, salt and cracked black pepper and toss until evenly coated.
- Step 3
Spread bread cubes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Step 4
Bake 12–15 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
- Step 5
Cool slightly before serving — they will crisp more as they cool.
