Step 1

Pre-heat the oven to 400F/200C.

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

Place the bread cubes on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle the herbs, garlic powder if using, salt and peppercorn.

Step 4

Using your hands toss the bread cubes together so the oil and herbs are evently distributed.

Step 5

Spread the bread cubes out evenly and bake in the centre of the oven for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Check the vegan croutons to see if they are done according to your liking. I like to turn them around at this point and bake them for another 3-5 minutes.

Step 7

Remove from oven and allow them to cool at room temperature or feel free to use them in your dish right away.

Step 8

Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
