Store the homemade croutons at room temperature for up to 1 week. Put the croutons in your pantry and that's it. Most croutons will be crunchy and crisp for up to a week, but the sooner you use them, the better. Croutons won't become moldy, but they will become soft or chewy once they're old.

All you need to do is toss together the day-old cubed gluten-free bread (although fresh works as well), olive oil, and gluten-free seasonings until thoroughly coated and bake for about an hour. You can make a double batch of croutons and store in the freezer for convenient use at a later date.
