Time: 30 min | Difficulty: 1/5 | Servings: 4
1. Prepare the Oven
Set it to to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Your Croutons
Cut your bread into large chunks and place them on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the seasoning (Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper). Toss well and spread evenly on the baking sheet.
3. Bake Your Croutons
Bake on the top rack for 16-20 minutes until golden brown. The cooking time will depend on the size of your croutons, so keep an eye on them. Once done, remove from the oven and let cool completely.
4. Prep Remaining Ingredients
Wash your lettuce and cut off the bottom. I like to serve whole-leaf romaine, but you can chop it if you prefer. Wash your cherry tomatoes and cut them in half.
5. Serve
Plate your lettuce and add the croutons, tomatoes, and parmesan cheese. Dress your salad and serve!
Tip
The croutons can be keep in an airtight container for up to a week.
