INGREDIENTS:
2-3 slices of whole wheat bread
extra-virgin olive oil
sea salt & pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Cut bread into bite-sized pieces. Spread them onto a baking sheet. Drizzle a little olive oil over the bread. Add salt and pepper. Use your hands to mix it all together. (I like to keep dirty dishes to a minimum) Cook in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until they are golden-brown and crispy.
If you feel like getting really fancy, add some freshly shredded Parmesan cheese or pressed garlic when you add the salt and pepper.
