Step 1

Heat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and set aside.

Step 2

Slice cornbread into one-inch cubes and gently toss in a bowl with 2 teaspoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add another teaspoon of oil if needed to moisten all of the cornbread evenly.

Step 3

Place cornbread cubes onto the lined baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between each one.

Step 4

Bake for 6-7 minutes and then flip each crouton over.

Step 5

Bake for another 7-8 minutes, or until cornbread croutons have crisped to your liking.
