  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Prepare a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  • Cube your bread if you haven't already. Add it to a large mixing bowl.
  • Drizzle the olive oil over the bread and add the Italian seasoning, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Toss until bread cubes are coated evenly. Spread cubed bread in a single layer on the baking sheet.
