Garlic Croutons

I'm not a fan of store-bought croutons because they can be so hard and not very flavorful.  I made this recipe and decided this will be my go-to crouton recipe.  Depending on how large your bread slices are you may want to make a recipe and a half of the butter/garlic mixture.

6 slices bread, trim crusts, cube (let bread sit out a few hours or overnight)
3 TBS melted butter
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried parsley
pinch salt

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.  In a bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic powder, parsley and salt.  Add the bread cubes.  Toss until well coated.

Spread onto a rimmed cookie sheet or a 9x13 pan.

Bake for 15 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and crunchy.  Stir a few times during baking.
