Garlic Crouton Sticks and Roasted Garlic Hummus Toppings

Instructions

• Preheat Oven to 375F.
• Slice a loaf of Italian bread in half lengthwise, like you were going to make a huge sandwich.
• Cut each big top piece in half again.
• Using a sharp knife, carefully, cut the two half loafs of bread into sticks. Make them as short or as long as you\'d like. I normally keep mine to about 3 inches and I can normally get about 50 crouton sticks from 1 loaf of bread.
• Lay the pieces out onto a baking sheet, or two if you have room for two baking sheets in your oven.
• In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder and pepper. Whisk to combine.
• Brush each piece of bread with the olive oil and garlic mixture.
• Bake at 375F for 12 minutes. Let cool.
• Serve with your favorite Sabra Hummus. -- Tip - top hummus with roasted garlic and olive oil for a special touch!
