How to Make Greek Croutons
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut 1 loaf of crusty bread into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large bowl.
- In a small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup olive oil over medium heat. Add 4 cloves minced garlic.
- Cook garlic for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden brown. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Strain the garlic-infused oil into a heatproof bowl. Discard the garlic.
- Pour the infused olive oil over the bread cubes. Gently toss to coat evenly.
- Spread the bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Toast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and slightly soft in the center.
- While croutons are toasting, in a separate bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Once the croutons are removed from the oven, immediately add them to the bowl with the herbs and spices. Toss gently to coat.
- Serve immediately over your favorite salad or use to make pita chips.
