The Method
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2
Cut the focaccia into roughly 1/2 to 3/4 inch cubes. Try to make them as uniform in size as possible for even baking.
- 3
In a large bowl, toss the focaccia cubes with olive oil, garlic powder (if using), salt, and pepper. Ensure all the cubes are evenly coated.
- 4
Spread the focaccia cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding.
- 5
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the croutons are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
- 6
Remove from the oven and let the croutons cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up further as they cool.
- 7
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.

Chef's Tips
For a richer flavor, toss the croutons with a small amount of melted butter along with the olive oil.
If your focaccia is already very oily, you may need to reduce the amount of olive oil you add.
Don't overcrowd the baking sheet, as this will cause the croutons to steam instead of bake.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
If you are using fresh rosemary, chop it finely and add it to the croutons with the other seasonings before baking.
