Garlic Thyme Croutons

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. It's pretty important that your bread is torn.
3. I usually cut my loaf into strips, then tear off chunks.
4. The torn edges will crisp up and make for a much better texture than a sliced edge.
5. 8 cups is listed, but feel free to just use whatever amount of bread (fresh or stale) is on hand, and season as needed.
6. Crush garlic.
7. Remove thyme from stem and chop well.
8. Combine bread chunks, garlic, thyme, and olive oil in a bowl and mix well.
9. Squish the bread a little if possible, so it sponges up the oil.
10. Season with salt and pepper.
11. Spread croutons evenly on a parchment lined baking sheet.
12. Bake for 20 minutes, or until croutons are crisp and golden brown.
