These crispy homemade garlic croutons are perfect when you want to add crunch to your salad but all you have is some bread. Add to soups, salads, or just eat as a snack.
Cut the bread into thin, bite sized pieces. The thinner the better — if they’re kind of flimsy and you can kind of see through them, that’s perfect.
Toss with the olive oil and garlic powder. Spread on a baking sheet without crowding the bread pieces.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, until bread is golden brown. Let cool completely — they’ll crisp as they cool.
