Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a large baking sheet.

Place the cubed cornbread in a large bowl.

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the cubed cornbread and gently stir. Then add the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, stirring to coat evenly.

Spread the cornbread cubes in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping them once about halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.

Remove the croutons from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes. They will crisp up further as they cool.
