Ingredients

4 cups gluten-free bread cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Add the cubed gluten-free bread into a food processor. Process on high speed for 30 seconds for coarse breadcrumbs, or 1 minute for fine breadcrumbs.
Pour the breadcrumbs onto the prepared baking sheet, then drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss to combine, then spread the breadcrumbs into an even layer.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and toasted.
Let cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container to store.
