🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor.

Cut two Kaiser rolls into medium-sized pieces for croutons.

Place the bread pieces into a mixing bowl.

Add 1/4 cup of olive oil in increments to coat the bread.

Sprinkle in 1/8 teaspoon of salt.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic pepper blend.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Mix in 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese.

Add 2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning.

Mix all ingredients thoroughly to ensure even coating.

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Spread the seasoned bread pieces evenly on a baking sheet or pie pan.

Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even browning.

Check for a golden color and crunchiness before removing from the oven.

Store any leftover croutons in a container in the fridge for up to a week.
