A thrifty way to use up bread and you can spice, or not, to your own liking for use in salads, soups and stuffing! Sometimes my seasoning of choice is simply grated Parmesan or dry Ranch Dip mix ;-)
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
Place bread cubes in a large bowl, pour olive oil over cubes and gently toss; coating well.
Sprinkle with seasoning(s) of choice, toss to coat again and place in an ungreased roasting pan.
Bake until crisp and lightly golden brown (timing depends on the size of your bread cubes) tossing to turn at least once.
Allow to cool and store in an airtight container.

Throwing out the crusts of bread is a waste, but when they are the last to get eaten, sometimes they end up with mold and out they go.
Don't throw away stale bread! (If nothing else, feed it to the birds). I use it to make my own croutons for salads.
