Equipment
- Oven, or airfryer
Ingredients
- 5 slices gluten-free bread,
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Slice each piece of bread into cubes (I usually cut into 12 cubes) and place in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle with the olive oil, then sprinkle with oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Spread cubes on the tray in a single layer.
- Bake for 15 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp outside but still chewy inside.
- Cool completely before serving or storing - they continue to crisp up.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
- Freeze for up to 2 months and reheat in the oven or air fryer before serving.
- Flavour swap: Try rosemary, thyme, or Italian seasoning.
