How to Make Bagel Croutons

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut 2 bagels in half horizontally, then cut each half into approximately 12 pieces (adjust for desired crouton size).
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. (Feel free to substitute your favorite seasonings!)
  4. Add the bagel pieces to the bowl and toss gently to coat evenly with the oil and seasonings.
  5. Spread the bagel pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
