Ingredients

Bread

  • 1 loaf focaccia bread

Instructions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut the focaccia into 1-inch cubes and spread them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.1 loaf focaccia
  2. Season the Butter: Melt the vegan butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Whisk in the parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, white pepper, and kosher salt until well combined.½ cup vegan butter, 2 tbsp dried parsley, 2 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp onion powder, ½ tsp white pepper, ½ tsp kosher salt
  3. Coat the Bread: Pour the seasoned butter over the bread cubes and gently toss until every piece is evenly coated.prepared bread, seasoned butter
  4. Bake Until Crisp: Arrange the bread in a single layer and bake for 18–22 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the croutons are golden brown and crisp.prepared croutons
  5. Cool and Store: Allow the croutons to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container.

Notes

  • Use Day-Old Bread: Slightly stale focaccia crisps up beautifully and absorbs the seasoned butter more evenly.
  • Single Layer: Keeping the croutons in a single layer helps them brown evenly instead of steaming.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
  • Serving Suggestions: Toss with Vegan Caesar Dressing, Balsamic Vinaigrette, Creamy Curry Dressing, soups, or roasted vegetable salads.
