Instructions
Pre-heat your oven to 300°
Cut the crusts off of your bread and cut into bite sized pieces.
Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of oil on a baking sheet and kind of rub it around with your fingers to grease the whole surface.
Add your bread to the baking sheet and gently stir and toss your bread around so that the oil coats all sides. Drizzle the last ½ tablespoon over the top of the bread and toss again.
Sprinkle ½ of your garlic powder, salt, chives and Parmesan Cheese over the bread. Toss and sprinkle the remaining seasonings.
Put in the oven and bake at 300° for 13 minutes. Remove from the oven and drizzle your melted butter over the tops of your croutons. Toss and place back in the oven and turn it to broil.
Watch your croutons carefully as the broiler cooks them very quickly, especially after you have added your butter.
When they are starting to brown they are done! Remove from the oven and add to your salad.
