How to Make Garlic Parmesan Croutons

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Adjust oven rack to the center position.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
Add 4 cups of cubed bread (approximately 1-inch cubes) to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the oil mixture.
Spread the bread cubes in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
