How to make croutons in the oven?

Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C) to make homemade croutons. Cut the bread into desired-sized cubes and place them in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil or melted butter and season with desired herbs, spices, garlic, or other flavorings.
Toss to coat the cubes with the oil of your choice. Spread the cubes on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
Once cooled, store the croutons in an airtight container for up to one week. Enjoy them in salads, soups, or as a crunchy snack.
