In a heavy skillet over medium heat, add oil and heat until it's hot. Add minced garlic and stir until lightly browned, ⏱️ 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and strain out the garlic, keeping just the oil. Reserve garlic for other uses, if you'd like.

Rearrange bread cubes in a single layer and bake about ⏱️ 14-15 minutes, or until croutons are crispy and golden brown. Check ⏱️ 2 minutes before done to ensure they're not overly browned. Add more salt and pepper to taste, if needed. Cool completely on baking sheet before serving.
